Welcome! 
 
 
I'm Anne Morin,
 
from Portland, Oregon, USA. 
This site describes me, who I am,
and some of the things I'm into, 
for pleasure and/or for treasure.
 
For those of you who are here
because you might be interested
in having me
SUBSTITUTE TEACH
in your classroom,
this site should give you an idea of
what I'm about,
but for specific information,
click on the
or
you can learn more about
me as a person
by clicking on the
Informal Bio Page (also above).
 
Know that I would be happy to serve as a
TUTOR
for adults or youngsters
with special English
or English as a Second Language needs.
(I could also help with other areas of study.)
.
 
i WRITE. 
You can find my rather prolonged attempt
at writing a novel at
I'm still working on it! 
 
I read a great deal of poetry,
and I write a modicum of poetry. 
Some of these (my own
and favorites written by others)
have been posted
on my Writer/Editor Page.
 
.
 
I like creating
 WEB PAGES.
 You can find a collection of horse poems
I've gleaned from many sources
over the years
for my daughter, Nico Wind,
on the web page I created 
(where you will also find
at least one poem I've written). 
Information about
other pages I've created or
would be happy to create for you
can be found by checking the links below.
(I must add that my latest attempt to create a webpage
that is informative and also fun to look at and listen to
is the one I'm still working on
for my 50th high school class reunion
to take place in Bend, Oregon, in September.  
You can enjoy the fun by clicking on this link:
Go, Lava Bears!

Finally, I am a budding
 
CHAP BOOK PUBLISHER!
 
Maybe you have a group of
fabulous poems you've written
and would like to see them
collected in book form.
I can help you with the process
of deciding which poems to include,
which font(s), paper stock, colors,
forms, etc., you wish to use,
and I will produce the numbers of
chap books you think you'll need.
You can find some examples
of chap books I've produced
on the Publish Yours! Page.
I look forward to facilitating
your debut!


The outstanding sound you hear on this site is provided (with her permission) by Joanne Shenandoah on her CD, Matriarch: Iroquois Women's SongsJoanne is a personal friend and greatly admired custodian of the music and culture of her tribe. 
The collection of recordings on the CD from which comes this lovely song "Kahawi'tha" ("She Carries It Along"), dedicated to Joanne's very special daughter, Leah, was also dedicated to the Shenandoah family and all lifegivers of Mother Earth. 
 What I especially appreciate about this work by Joanne is that her people, the Haudenosaunee, believe " . . . the Earth is a living organism with its own form of consciousness. 
They feel by holding women in high esteem they are also paying homage to Mother Earth."
