About the Book

Passage of Time is a collection of poems which reflect their values, interests and life experiences, which were understandably quite different. They are based on remembrances throughout the years as well as current events in their lives. The poems adequately express the rare blend of characteristics that identify their unique personalities. The topics span a wide range, such as time, music, collections of things that are important to them, their love of art and of color. Readers will also find humor and the influence of aging. Their love of the changing seasons is represented as are Children, an important ingredient in both of their lifestyles. Readers of all ages, they hope, will find something in this collection that they can identify with, regardless of their position in life..


About the Author

The authors are sisters that shared a difficult childhood. The family suffered multiple deaths, including their parents and grandparents. They were raised by their one surviving maternal grandparent during their junior and senior high years in Kansas City, Kansas. After graduation they both worked at Hallmark Cards in Kansas City, Missouri for several years. Later they both received a Masters Degree in Education from Kansas University and have worked with children of all ages throughout their long careers. In addition, they both shave raised sons of their own. They have shared their poetry with each other over the years. It has served as a means to vent their frustration, joys and sorrows. What has impressed them is how differently they express themselves, both in mood and style. Yet there is a consistent thread running through the works based on their individual ife experiences. This is the second Dueling Sisters to be published. A possible third one is in the works. .
