Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
I have a BA in Creative Writing. I have been writing Poetry for fun since middle school. 
As a teacher one of my favorite subjects to teach is writing. I am especially fond of Poetry because you can say so much with so little. 
The poetry technique I am teaching in this class is one I use myself often.
