Gutterman uses poetry to embellish the (big and small) dramas of life. Per the ghazal form, there is a repeating word closing each couplet and a rhyme preceding the end word. Gutterman is a founding Board member and current Literary Committee Chair of West Windsor Arts. Her first poetry book, Tides of Expectation, was published by Kelsay Books (2022). Three of her poems published in literary magazines/journals have been nominated for a Pushcart Prize.
