Book excerpt: Through her almost twelve years of travel, Betsy has written poems and short stories about and in the places she has lived and visited. Her poems are Impressionistic expressions that reflect her life experiences during this time. She captures the moods, feelings and vistas of her journeys throughout the world. Like Monet she tries to convey the world she has seen with images that are visual landscapes. This book is an accessible and enjoyable, sometimes whimsical and witty, tour around the world that sometimes leads to the heart. Both poetry lovers and non-poetry readers alike will delight in their reading.
