My younger sister, Kirsten, is one of my best friends. We were born 20 months apart and rarely go more than a day without talking.

As children we were constant playmates and as adults we continue to seek adventures together.

And now, we’re embarking on something new together – a joint poetry and art show. I’m writing the poems and my sister is creating the art. And you’re invited to come to our opening!
As children we had a bizarre joke about being Siamese twins. It didn’t make much sense then and it doesn’t make much sense now but it continues to be our favorite joke and hence, the title of our show. It also now has additional meaning but you’ll have to come to the show to hear the full story.
Please mark your calendars and join us for an afternoon of poetry and art. Books of poetry and artwork will be for sale (cash or credit) and we’ll provide beverages (adult and otherwise) and snacks. We hope to see you there!
