"Amorphous Angelic" was written from 1983-1985 in London, England during her own rebirth while in a celibate/hermit repose. They remain her most memorable. It was a time Howett seriously began to dedicate herself to her life’s works in a mature form writing plays, poetry, novels and reading the classics after reconnecting to her creative spirit within a state of celibacy through a death/rebirth experience, after having lived the life of "The London Cassandra'" that became the essence of these poems.The London Cassandra is a novel she wrote about her early twenties she hopes some day to publish.She was influenced by Wordsworth, Coleridge and the Persian and Middle Eastern Poets. Among other books of poetry she has written are Sands of time, an arrangement of poems from the 70's to the year 2001, & My Greekside, a book of Greek poetry and lyrics in English translation which she began to compile after her mothers death in 1996. These are also to become available in audio. My Greekside began a new process in her own metamorphosis that marked the final transition to terra firma with letting go of her old emotional ties to Europe to finally start living in more awareness the American life after completing her novels, The Greek Seaman and the sequel, The London Cassandra. ! Since March 1999 she has maintained numerous arts & literature sites such as JACQSWORLD, and in the summer of 2000 launched ATLinkswithPoetry on the internet where you can order her E-books/books in print and soon to be CD ROMs and audio cassettes.
