Welcome to my website.  My name is Marie-Jose Temmink.  I am writing my autobiography from memory to memoir. It has been said, writing a memoir has an added benefit of leaving a legacy for your children while it stimulates your mind and memory. The mothers and grandparents in my youth used to knit, crochet, embroider or quilt, leaving a memory of their creation. I see writing my autobiography in rhyming poetry as the quilt of my life to leave as a reference for future generations. I have published several books, but posting my poetry on my website gives more people access to my poetry and without charge.
