Memorable Thoughts on the California Coast: A Book of Poems

Marian’s mother, Henny Jantzen Inscoe, came to America from Germany in 1894 at age thirteen. She immediately started studying and writing poetry. It was Henny who introduced Marian to rhyme. Marian loved the melody of her mother’s rhymes. As years passed, Marian would find a quiet moment to jot down her feelings, oftentimes expressing her emotions of the moment in rhyme. These poems are coming to light now as a tribute to her talent—and as a legacy to her family. Hopefully her light will shine on all romantic readers.
