ABOUT JUDITH FITZPATRICK

Poet Judith Fitzpatrick, author of "Two Swans” and her most recent collection Past, Present, was born in Plymouth, England and now lives on Cape Cod. Her work reflects her observations of the natural beauty of the landscape, her favorite beach and walking in the cranberry bog nearby. Judith has always written poetry to express her emotional life and reflect on her memories. She began writing poetry and stories in her fifties after returning to school to complete her education. For many years, Judith has been actively involved in a local garden club, finding joy in sharing her knowledge and the unique challenges of gardening on a peninsula. Judith also enjoys travelling with her alumni travel group and experiencing other cultures. Currently working on a memoir and family stories, Judith is constantly expanding her horizons and her inner life to challenge herself.
