The students in this class became remarkable poets in just ten class sessions. I was amazed by the honesty, emotion, compassion, and support that I read in these students’ poems and witnessed in our classroom.
I was honored to teach this class, and am so grateful to Oakes College for this opportunity, and to each student (and our honorary class members) for their individual contributions to the happy place that was our class.
You are all remarkable, world-changing artists, and I am proud that I got to be in the classroom with you.
A number of the students in the class chose to share one or more of their poems with the wider community here, and we invite you to experience their powerful work.
