Poetry workshops

Her teaching methods extend beyond the sharing of craft and seeks to enhance a student’s technique in text and sub-text. Her worldly experiences and extensive study of many cultures’ traditions, rituals and mythology create an exciting landscape in her workshops. In person or online workshops are available.
