“Why Have My Sea-Legs Dropped Anchor in the Galley Again?” by Pauli Dutton

Why Have My Sea-Legs Dropped Anchor in the Galley Again? written ‘In Synergy’ with “Time and Tide” by Caryn Gilbert

Pauli Dutton poem

Pauli Dutton was a librarian for 30 years at Altadena Library and former acting director. What she wanted to do was sing, dance, and write. Happily, the library let her host programs where the public and she could do these things, and no one objected when she sang her reports to the Town Council. Publications include ONE ART, Writing In A Woman’s Voice, Verse Virtual, The Pangolin Review, Better Than Starbucks, and Altadena Poetry Review. She was nominated by ONE ART for Orison Book’s Best Spiritual Literature 2022.
