I hope when you are...Judy, Thanks for the comment. I hope when you are back in the area, you will spend a day with us Netwest Mountain writers. These are women like you. We have some men too. I would love for you to meet Dorothea, who has been writing poetry since she was a girl in Upstate New York. The first time she took my class, years ago, she let me know immediately that she had a classical education and that yes, she knew who Walt Whitman is. Dorothea was recovering from a head injury and took the class to help rewire her brain. It worked. The outcome is that she made the switch from traditional verse to more experimental forms.<BR/><BR/>You will also meet Brenda Kay Ledford who posted above you. When she took my class the first time, she said she had never written a poem, and then went on to win first place in a poetry contest before the class ended. She was hooked and now has three chapbooks published, two of them at Finishing Line Press. <BR/><BR/><BR/>hadNancy Simpsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06468975663711270696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-857504271006815554.post-2541221692868352632009-01-25T06:01:00.000-08:002009-01-25T06:01:00.000-08:00This makes me homesick for the mountains.
