Pentwater is a town in Michigan where my great-grandparents, and in time my grandfather, were born and grew up.  My grandparents built a cabin there in the 1940’s, where we spent all of our summer vacations very, very happily.  My husband and I were lucky enough to also make the family cottage a part of our children’s lives.

Those vacations and all of the memories they evoke have become a recurring theme for my poems.  This group of poems includes revised versions of posts inspired by these memories, collected here mostly for my family.
