For forty years, poet Simone L. Hamlescher turned to her notebook—in her spare time, when she was frustrated, when she had no one else. She learned that every poem is a life experience. Growing up and growing old, love and grief, birth and death—a poem can illuminate our inner worlds and everyday lives. That’s what the poems in Herding Cats in the Forbidden Kingdom: A Poetry Collection (1986–2026) do. They reveal life’s twists and turns and the many experiences that shape us.
