Workshops
I have taught Introduction to Poetry and Advanced Poetry Writing at various colleges in the area, including Chester College, New Hampshire Institute of Art, and Northern Essex Community College.
In addition, I've taught three-day workshops, Introduction to Rhyme, Introduction to Meter and Rhyme, and Take Time to Pretend: Dramatic Monologues, at the Frost Farm Poetry Conference, as well as a one-day version at Poetry By the Sea. I’ve also given talks on The Art of the Dramatic Monologue for the Poetry Society of New Hampshire and Poetry for Children for UMass Lowell.
I am also available to give a talk on women poets of the White Mountains. New England women poets have been visiting, living in, and writing about the White Mountains for almost two hundred years, both being influenced by and influencing the landscape. I examine poems by Lydia Sigourney, Edna Dean Proctor, Lucy Larcom, Jane Kenyon, and others.
I received an M.F.A. in Poetry from the University of New Hampshire in 2006, the first MFA awarded by that institution.
