I'm a retired teacher and am doing more writing these days. I teach poetry lessons to fifth graders at a school nearby. I have two children's books published, two curriculums published (with other authors) and have two self-published poetry collections in limited editions. I belong to and attend classes at the Loft in Mpls. MN.
