Beverly Rose Joyce
Beverly Rose Joyce lives in Brecksville, Ohio, a suburb of Cleveland, with her husband, Carl, and their two daughters, Mallory and Samantha, along with their two dogs, Shadow and Reggie. She holds a BA in English from Baldwin-Wallace University and a MA in English from Cleveland State University, and she was a public high school English teacher for sixteen years before taking a voluntary respite from the profession to spend more time with her children and to better focus on her writing.
This is Beverly Rose’s first poetry submission. The poem was written between March 2020 and February 2021, while in strict isolation, due to her daughter’s immune deficiency, during the COVID-19 Pandemic.
