My first blog with WordPress is Poems From Oostburg, Wisconsin.   I began with WordPress in December 2009.   This format for writing has encouraged me so much.

In 2001, I published a small chapbook of my poems, now out of print.   So now it is 2014 and a long time since then.    I hope to make a few small chapbooks from my blogs, beginning with my site Quiet Christmas Poetry.  Karl will help me, and we’ll include his photos.  I will keep you informed.

In 2007, I published a poetry collection with Time Of Singing.   The title is Welcoming Hope: Poems For Those In Need.   Please visit their books page for more information, if you are interested.  Many poets are included, and the book is illustrated by Charles A. Waugaman.

And I plan to keep Poems From Oostburg, Wisconsin current.  Today I posted a haiku I wrote last year:

Sunday morning
finding poems again
in silence

Thank you and many blessings,

Ellen Grace Olinger
