Writing Which Both Seeks and Resists Pieties

  • Steadfast Celebration

    Use past experiences, present circumstances and personal reflection to write a poem of triumph.

  • Insignificant Place

    Concrete image, detail, and direct statement come together to craft a mediation on the “nowheres” of the natural world.

  • Disruptive Joy

    Explore literary devices such as symbol, enjambment, and idiom. Uncover how contradictory elements work to form a coherent feeling.

Classes for all ages

You matter. Your Presence Here Matters. Your contribution is expected and essential.

Vitality, Community, and Artistry

I lead with the following classroom expectations

  • Show up

  • Please make mistakes

  • Come in when you are needed

  • The only rule is work (but work without rest is toil)

Get in touch.
