I am poet JMariah, and I have been writing for over 40 years. I have been published in several periodicals and anthologies, and I have also published 5 books of poetry. I work with special needs children; I designed and run a Rock Hound Club in a public school for grade 4 students. I have a long range of interests including teaching, rock collecting and interpreting dreams, but my greatest passion is poetry.
