Judy Lewis moved to Northampton from Phoenix, Arizona three years ago, at the beginning of winter during the pandemic. She started writing poetry as a way to make sense of this experience. A visual artist, she has also had a long and varied career in healthcare as a Nurse Practitioner and in community public health. Of her 45 years in nursing she says, “My biggest regret is that I never wrote any of it down.”
