Born and raised in Connecticut, Trish incorporated dance, theatre, poetry, and many of the arts into and throughout her life. Although Tango took a strong hold upon her, poetry sank into her bones, capturing her experiences, and providing definition to everything meaningful to her. Her sharing was done among fellow members of the Fairfield Area Poets for many years, under the direction of Rose Marie Barone, an author and teacher herself. More recently she's engaged with another group of talented creative enthusiasts, The Poet's Roundtable at the Bigelow Senior Center. It was said, to seek recognition is to impose restriction and feed the me-machine. Who's hungry?
