Unlikely Stories Presents

Joan d'America (yes, I can do better, but I'm not trying)

To the Unlikely Stories home pageJoan Pond's poetry is what you call contemporary. Using everyday symbols and tales from childhood, she paints a picture of the things that we deal with on a daily basis: disappointment, heartbreak, jealousy, and the little perks that help us to convince ourselves that our lives are worth living, anyway.

Joan's new book, Scrapbook for the Soul, is availible from the Unlikely Stories bookstore. You can e-mail her at Boodles1@aol.com or see some of her other work at San Francisco Salvo, The Bridge Collective, and Road of Shadows.
