"You have taught me that poetry can be painful...Poetry can be prayer. Poetry can be sexy. You have helped me develop a new direction for my life."
"Your classes have given me greater ability to see the path before me. I see more detail, more beauty, more of life. For this, I am deeply grateful..."
"How grateful I am for stumbling into your class and for your generous, exuberant and disciplined guidance to me as I have begun to explore a world I've groped for all my life."
"Poetry as I experienced it in our class is life itself, a way of breathing...."
"I learned I need to let go, to play, to stop explaining, to loosen up, open up, dig deep. I credit your tremendous energy and enthusiasm for liberating me from enough of me fear to make progress possible. I thank you for it."
"The degree of commitment to excellence, to striving for economy, quality and exploration impressed me. An amazing gift to all us budding poets..."
"What you inspire most of all in me is honesty. Thank you. You are an inspiring poet."
