A Pacific Northwest native, I have been writing poetry over 40 years. My poems reflect a woman’s journey through the later years, with recurring themes of loss and renewal.
Tim’s comment: Cathy’s poem THE PARTY features another theme in her poetry. Cathy takes what could have been an irritating event when discovering a mess guests had left behind them and turns the mess into a delightful description of mice having a good time.

I’m concluding this series of Salmon Summers posts with memories of characters and experiences from that time in my life when I worked for Nakat out of Waterfall Cannery. A few years before the canneries became ghosts along the beach, or became resorts like Waterfall, I left the fish tenders and hired on as a deckhand on a salmon seiner. Those stories are part of a future series on the NESTER.
