	Dear reader, This humble chapbook of poetry  aims to offer a sampling of poems I've written throughout my life.  Some of them may be familiar to readers of my poems.  I really hope you can find something in it to enjoy. I once made my own print copies of my chapbook (formerly titled, The Black Butterfly), a very limited edition, which sold out at one of my shows.  While I work on making more copies of it, I just thought I'd start about it again with my own website, at least as an abridged version, so that the print copy can still retain its own depth and character, whenever it comes out again. You are most welcome to communicate with me about this chapbook, since it is in an experimental stage.  It makes my day to hear from folks. In closing, I gratefully dedicate this book of poems to Barbara Donovan, founder of the Live Poets Society in Long Island, who first saw the poet in me when I was a teen. Thanks for reading and please click here to open Starwood. -Isabel
