About the Author

Debbi by the Bay

I was born in Lincoln, Maine — well, a while back — and spent most of the first ten years of my life living in Aroostook County, in or near Presque Isle — so far north in the “cap” of Maine that sticks way up into Canada that we drove pretty much due West to Quebec. Dad worked for the YMCA, so our summers were spent “down south” near Augusta, Maine at the beautiful Maine State YMCA camp.

I will never forgot the beauty of the north woods and lakes, Maine’s breathtaking pines, the rocky Maine coast, and, most of all, Mainers. I’ve traveled and lived all around the world, but I’m living proof — you can take the girl out of Maine, but you can’t take Maine out of the girl.

I now live with my husband and our collie in Maryland on the shore of the beautiful Chesapeake Bay. I work for 84000: Translating the Words of the Buddha (http://84000.co). I practice Tibetan Buddhism as a student of Sogyal Rinpoche and am a member of Rigpa.

So, there you have it — the connections that lead me to write poems about places I love and about walking a spiritual path.

    I re-read your wonderful poetry today and found myself stopping to dwell on each one.
    You have a gift to share with others which will enhance their lives.
    I look forward to reading some of your Chesapeake poetry in the future.
    Keep writing. It is such a lovely expression of your inner thoughts.
    Love, Geneva

  • WELCOME!

    This blog is one woman's contribution to a world sorely in need of more poetry. I've started by posting three collections: "Maine Girl" (inspired by growing up in the great state of Maine), "Getting Over Me" (dharma poetry about trying to live a more compassionate life), and "Lucky Enough!" (inspired by living by the Chesapeake Bay). Randoms, Rogues and Outliers is where I put other free-standing poems -- some going back decades. Finally, "On Vanishing Path" and "Being Otherwise" -- two more dharma poetry collections -- are my most recent works in progress, with poems posted here as I write them.

    To get started, just click on whichever collection you'd like to read in the Categories box below. Or take pot luck and just start reading the posts from the top.

    I hope you enjoy my poems but, more importantly, I hope you find joy in writing your own poetry and that you find ways to share what you write. Please let me know when you do!
