My name is Deena Staples. I live on the coast of Maine where I live with my husband and three children in a lobster fishing community. I am an administrative assistant during the day, and a writer all the time. I enjoy Poet’s Choice because they give authors a chance to publish their work with other talented authors in an affordable and high-quality way. I enjoy writing and reading poetry because this art form expresses human emotions in their rawest form in beautiful ways.
