This Unexpected Life - Paperback

by Brenda Linkeman (Author)

Brenda Linkeman began writing poetry when she was a sophomore in high school and only recently began publishing. She has had poems published in The Gasconade Review and the Trailer Park Quarterly. She has made a career working as a clinical social worker and play therapist with children, as well as teaching private art lessons. Brenda grew up moving frequently since her father was a topographic engineer for the USGS. She has lived in seventeen states. Living all over the U.S. allowed her to learn about the variety of landscapes in this country, and the often subtle, but unique cultural differences there are between the states. The dynamics between people inspires Brenda's poetry, as does the universe.
