About Me
- Trish Lapidus
- I grew up on a chicken farm in Maine in the '50s when it was almost possible to believe that life was good and would only get better for everyone. I say almost, because even then we had rumors of A-bombs. My favorite uncle built a bomb shelter. But children are full of life and do their best to ignore the ominous. I roamed the fields and woods on my own, playing private games and picking berries. I've hiked Mt. Katahdin seven times. I love a campfire story. I have raised my family and have, as a profession, helped young families with the problems of their lives. I lived for a decade among spiritual hippies. My book Sweet Potato Suppers is about that adventure.

Trish,
I went to the Alibris website and was able to read one of the poems from your book, the one about you and your father on the tractor.
I have to say that its power and poignancy touched me immediately, especially the emotional content connected to your father's disappointment at not being able to serve. Well done.
Poetry is not an easy genre (it's definitely beyond me)but you seem to be right at home with it.
