From Burnham Cove: A Collection of Poems - Softcover

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Ruth Fredericks Guillard was born in Philadelphia, PA in 1931. She spent much of her childhood wandering the woods and creeks behind her home and exploring the sands of Long Beach Island, N.J. She graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 1952 with a BFA degree after majoring in music in the Department of Fine Arts. Guillard has had a career in the New England area as a performing musician, (voice and recorder), specializing in Renaissance and Baroque music. She taught recorder at the Cape Cod Conservatory of Arts and Music. In 1974, she became a certified teacher of the Transcendental Meditation Program and has taught TM in Massachusetts, Maine, Russia and Armenia. Her poems spring from these life experiences, manifested in rhythmic cadences, references to nature and deep, sometimes playful, dives into the many layers of life. She and her husband, Dr. Robert Guillard, live in an 1820 farmhouse on Burnham Cove in Boothbay, Maine. The family includes three sons, five grandchildren and a succession of “shelter” dogs.
