Seasons by the Bay is a collection of poems by Joyce Snyder. Its verse describes the author's connection to place, season, self, and others. Many poems are set near the southern end of the San Francisco Bay where the author lives. Her poetry reflects her growing awareness of surroundings-the beauty and magnificence of white pelicans, barn swallows, jacaranda trees, an ancient redwood, a birch tree, clouds, a hike with newts, and sunrise and sunset. Many poems contain the lessons she's learning along the way in connection with friends and family.
Joyce Snyder and her husband are long-time residents of Palo Alto, California, where they raised three daughters.
Joyce retired as a psychiatric clinical nurse specialist from the VA Medical Center. She has used the time since to pursue interests in poetry, birding, nature, and art.
She served as a docent at Tor House in Carmel, the charming home of poet Robinson Jeffers and his wife Una. She enjoyed learning and sharing his beautiful poetry and their lifestyle with visitors.
Her writing has been developed and refined by poetry classes and workshops, as well as collaborating in several small poetry groups.
She has been Influenced by many poets including Elizabeth Bishop, Stanley Kunitz, Naomi Shihab Nye, and Rainer Maria Rilke.
She has been published in the California State Poetry Society Quarterly and Quiet Diamonds, poetry journal of The Orchard Street Press.
