"I've taught poetry to people from all walks of life and have
witnessed its transformative power. My approach is to create a warm
and friendly atmosphere where people feel inspired to write, share
and listen. I believe that writing can help you to make sense of
the past and the present - even if the subject matter is
disturbing, the act of creation is positive."
