Coming back...

I never left poetry, simply left blogging about it.  Since 2007 poetry has enriched my life in a myriad of ways. As co-adviser of Beginnings, the SHS literary arts magazine, I introduce students to the wider poetry community by bringing  delegations to the Geraldine Dodge Poetry Festival and to the Columbia Scholastic Press Association conferences. Participating in the Dodge Foundation's annual "Spring and Fountain" professional workshops and the Rutgers Writing Project fuels my desire to share poetry through the SHS Annual April Poetry Festival which has  now become an established school wide celebration of poetry. So, now I'm back to my poetry blog thanks to an impromptu conversation I had with the supervisor of English today.  Thanks, Mary, for the reminder of how blogging can connect us especially in this segmented world.
