Reading well-known poets from the American, ancient Chinese, Spanish-language, modern Greek, and African American traditions will stimulate and enhance students' poetry. There are no prerequisites, and poets at all stages are welcome. To enroll, call Continuing Education, Pittsboro Campus: (919) 542-6495, ext. 223.

After writing, teaching is her vocation. She has five volumes of poetry and two of non-fiction from small presses. She is a regular columnist for Chatham County Line and lives in Moncure, where she farms and writes.
