The way this post made me feel my limbs again… and how I very impulsively want to say that my “strikethrough” is *whispers* werewolves.

I would love to enroll in this kind of study gift! I love poetry , I love writing ! My craft in writing is not up to all my ideas, all the things I need to say before I die. And, my poetry chops are even more delinquent compared to what I would like to express poetically. 🙏🏾🤗☀️✍🏽

as a former educator and a freshman poet, i sincerely look forward to your curriculum experiment. i hope you love the process of it. i fucking LOVED teaching. it blew my skirt up every damn day to walk into a classroom and do my thing. the fact that people paid tuition should have probably made me nervous, but i was soooo in my element...the brainstorming, the discussions, the exchange of ideas and processes...i felt like i was standing in front of a room/lecture hall full of teachers and * i * was the student. i know, i know...corny. but SERIOUSLY! it was the first time i felt like i had "a calling." the only thing i love more than teaching is learning shit i don't know. SO GET ON IT GIRL!!! i want to learn stuff! :D

Thank you for this thoughtful blessing as I see it Kathlene. I do think teaching can be exciting and thrilling and all-consuming and perhaps that last bit is what sometimes makes me averse to it? And yet your excitement is contagious I must say
