Description
Virginia community activist and philanthropist Jane Batten has never enjoyed sudoku or Wordle, so she developed her own creative outlet. While not traditional haiku, she forms word puzzles using the five-seven-five discipline. Her poems touch upon familiar themes that reflect what's most important to her, what she calls "reflections at the end of life"-nature, church, family, friendship, love. Sometimes they hearken a memory; other times they comment on the moment. These short verses exhibit universal themes any lover of poetry will celebrate.
A Note From the Publisher
A Tidewater native, Jane Batten grew up in Norfolk, Virginia, and now resides in Virginia Beach.

She is the widow of Frank Batten, prominent media figure, former chairman of the Associated Press, and founder of the Weather Channel. She traveled extensively with him. Always a serious reader, she is fascinated by words. She lives part-time on the Eastern Shore of Virginia where she owns two historic properties. She attended Hollins College (now University). She has three children and six grandchildren.
