When My Heart Goes Dark, I Turn the Porch Light On (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781421837802)

As the founder of The Writing Salon, a unique creative writing school in San Francisco and Berkeley that she directed for 16 years, Jane Underwood was a beloved mentor. Her poetry, essays and erotica appeared in The San Francisco Chronicle, Salon, The Sun Magazine, and Best Women's Erotica, and she was also a gifted photographer. After being diagnosed with cancer in 2005, she kept an online blog at "My Great Breast Cancer Adventure," and returned to her early love of poetry with renewed purpose. The manuscript of this book was on her nightstand when she died in February, 2016.
