Patricia is a dedicated dream worker and published prize-winning poet who has taught creative writing at locations like The Manhattan Lighthouse for the Blind and the Brooklyn Public Library Children’s Room. Her dreams and poetry blog (listed below)has a daily dreamku (dream-based haiku-like poems) and a large archive of her dreamku by month. She is currently designing a Tarot deck, The Taiga Tarot – illustrated tanka – that is almost entirely dream-inspired (see blog listed below). Patricia’s poetry has won first place prizes from The Feminist Writers Guild and The New York Open Center Goddess Festival. Her poems appear on “Literary House” among other online locales, and in many print publications such as “An Eye For An Eye Makes The Whole World Blind,” an award winning 9/11 anthology. Patricia’s haiku appear on tinywords.com, and her scifaiku (sci-fi/fantasy haiku-like poems) also appear online and in print (e.g. “The Sword Review” and “Abyss & Apex”).

How did you happen to join IASD? Many years ago I attended the New York City ASD (as it was known then) Conference and the rest is history.

What do you see as most important for this organization? To keep doing what it is doing and to stay open to what its members bring to the table. E.g., I recall back in that first conference I attended there was discussion about better exploration of dreams and the arts, and that has certainly been honored.
