The real story is not the plot, but how the characters unfold by it.
Teaching English and teaching Writing are two separate things.
My primary motivation for writing is to communicate my perceptions and insights into the human condition, in a way that may provide understanding, comfort, and company to others.
Language achieves soul only when it’s applied as a tool, used by those who imbue it with what they have had the courage and honesty to perceive and feel.
It is interesting to note that poetry, a literary device whose very construct involves the use of words, is itself the word of choice by persons grasping to describe something so beautiful it is marvelously ineffable.
Poetry isn’t an activity, it’s a way life is lived.
The primary dues a writer or any artist pays is to remain sentient, and to forfeit the illusionary luxury of such anesthetics as avoidance, numbness, and denials.
Any literature, when it arrives at being good literature, transcends genre. The category “Women Poets” is bizarre and irrelevant. It’s a subcategory of Poets, but there is not a “Men Poets” category.
