G.

A man’s worth is not always known by the friends he keeps, but sometimes by the enemies he makes ~

About Me

I am a woman with a purpose. The purpose is to help others as well as myself. One thing I know for sure, if we are lucky, we will all grow old some day. Think about it~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I edited my profile with Thomas’ Myspace Editor V3.6 !
G. was editor & chief of a New York based newsletter, "Living Poets Society". As editor, she confronted many social and political issues. The newsletter also inspired many new poets and writers to have their work published.After being published in various newsletters, she self-published two poetry books: " New and Improved" and "Poems From the Mind" totally putting together "Poems From the Mind" herself, with her computer and hands. Afterwards, she had a book-signing at Henry Street Settlemen, Abrons Art Center in NYC and was pleasantly surprised by the attendance. She has performed many exciting readings at various places around NYC, including Down State University in Bklyn.G. has been involved in many political and social activities and has received awards for her efforts.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
