Unpremeditated Moments approaches the rules of traditional haiku with an open mind, allowing the various themes to occasionally take priority over formula. In composing her poems, Joyce Bradshaw was inspired by the beautiful landscape and bountiful wildlife of Central Texas. The goal of the author, by way of her poetry, is to highlight the interrelationships between human beings, the wonders of the earth, and the love and grace of their creator.

Joyce G. Bradshaw spent her younger years in Westfield, New Jersey; studied at Mary Baldwin College in Staunton, Virginia; and earned a B.A. in Liberal Arts at St. Edward's University in Austin, Texas. She is retired from her years of work with handicapped adults and now devotes her time to freelance writing.

Bradshaw enjoys developing her writing and sharing her evolving written works with others. Unpremeditated Moments is the latest of Bradshaws published works of poetry. Previously published collections include Whisper from the Garden, Twin Voices, Peripheral Visions, and Somewhen.
