An engaging speaker and amazing human being. I can’t begin to discribe the amazing things I have heard come out of this woman’s mouth. I also love that she is so informed on so many topics, as any genius poet should be. She teaches at a public university, and I really wish I went to that school. I would love to take any class from her.
