with Meredith Heller
"I explain that as poets we notice things, feel things deeply, and have a strong need to express ourselves. This expression can be cathartic and empowering. I'm not here to teach you other people's poetry; I'm here for you to teach me your poetry."
Meredith Heller is the author of Writing by Heart, Write a Poem, Save Your Life, and several poetry collections. A poet, singer-songwriter, avid nature lover, and educator with degrees in writing and education, she leads writing workshops online and in-person at schools, juvenile detention centers, women's prisons, and wellness retreats.
