work may be in lineage with. As a teacher and a fellow poet, I have found that the poems we write are often smarter than we are. At times a promising draft carries a mysterious autonomous logic, one that is difficult for the writer–too close to the thing they’ve made–to fully grasp. As a result, in workshop discussions I press readers to be as descriptive as possible about what they see or hear, so as to mirror back a discrete sense of what a given poem is up to. I will also challenge you to break

energy and motivation like the shock of what is new. I believe that every person has a distinct camera lens and this comes through in your writing. My job as your teacher is to help you focus that lens, and see in your own unique way–and then help you tell us all that you see.

: I believe my job as a writing teacher is to do three primary things:  Serving as a supportive guide, helping you discover literature you may not have encountered on your own that will add to your literary toolkit, and helping you deconstruct the architecture of stories so that you might better unpack your own decisions. Whether you write domestic realism or speculative work or work that defies categorization, I place an emphasis on helping my students appreciate and understand not only the craft
