Check out my latest publication in View From The Loft. There I described what I learned teaching a four-week course at Catholic Eldercare last spring. Going into the experience, I thought I knew how to teach poetry. What I found were a bunch of outspoken and avid students, who helped each other navigate their various physical obstacles.Such as limited vision, hearing, memories, or an ability to write! Click on the Loft link and go to the View and go to my article, " Prepared."
How fitting it was that my article was published on the fourth and last session of a second poetry-writing course at the same place. The first course was so popular that residents requested another opportunity to experiment with words.
It is one of the most satisfying things I have done in a long time.
