Nature has always been an integral part of Betty's life, and over the years she has become its voice, which often whispers in her ear. She has lived her entire life in the Pacific Northwest, surrounded by majestic mountains, Puget Sound, rivers, lakes, and forests. This month we are coming out with a volume of poetry by Betty Hayes Albright entitled, Skipping Stones.
She has one son, two stepsons, three wonderful daughters-in-law, and six grandchildren. Lauren Scott, another well-known poet, said of Skipping Stones that it “is mythical and dreamlike, moving and heart-wrenching, delightful and thought-provoking.”
Four Windows Press is certainly happy that the book will be available on amazon.com early next week.
Tom Davis, 231 N. Hudson, Sturgeon Bay, WI 54235. She frequently writes of Mother Nature, or "Gaia" (from Greek mythology), and she has been the champion of Native Americans and all cultures, which practice a oneness with nature. Betty and her husband, Dave, recently moved to southwest Washington, close to the Columbia River and not far from Mt.
St. Helens. There has got to be a market for what Candice Daquin, another excellent poet, calls “her gorgeous kaleidoscopic collection of poems”. You can also order a book with a check or money order to Four Windows Press, attn. Her younger son, Arlie, passed away a year ago at the age of 44.

Growing up in an era where doors were left unlocked and children were "free-range", she and her friends were allowed to play in the thick woods and vacant lots of the neighborhood.Her poetry and short stories have been published in several small magazines, along with one chapbook in the 1970's. Her parents were avid gardeners, and she too learned to love nurturing anything that grew from the ground - especially trees. The book is priced at 13.95. Four Windows Press is glad to now count Albright’s earth-mother poetry among its offerings.
A Sturgeon Bay poet, Mike Orloch, told me at a recent poetry reading that he was reluctant to publish a book, even though he is an excellent poet with strong credentials, because more people write poetry than read it.
Betty Hayes Albright has one of the most popular poetry sites on the web at https://raindancepoetry.wordpress.com/author/raindancer73. Called “Seasonings”, the site presents week after week the deeply romantic, often clever, and sometimes fantastical poetry of Albright. There is a $4.00 handling and shipping fee for those who want to order directly from the press.
