Conversations at the nursing home- A mother, A daughter and Alzheimer's is at once part poetry, part poetic memoir. The author shares thoughts on her heritage and her relationship with her mother

Here is a collection of stories in verse from the viewpoint of an observer and listener interested in delving deeply into experiences, in asking questions, and grateful for her blessed life. Written mostly in narrative free verse, the poems explore moments in time- embracing the people and places encountered over a period of more than twenty years. The people are friends and strangers, and famous artists and writers met in museums and books. The places are those visited and those encountered in ordinary daily activities at home and in nature, all companions along the way.
