Judith lives in Sonoma with Tim, her husband, and Louie, their Catahoula puppy. She has been published in several on-line literary journals and print anthologies, most recently Kinds of Cool, A Collection of Jazz Poetry; Joe Maita, Editor, 2025.
Poetry, like food and drink, sustain her; but her primary emotional sustenance is nature. She walks everyday to hear the voices of birds, the sound of lizards running across the path, and trees telling their tales in an easily understood language that she often translates into poems.
