When I was an undergraduate student, I read a book on writing by Richard Hugo, entitled The Triggering Town. This holiday break I re-read the book and re-highlighted, re-notated...
This got me thinking about how important it is to show my students I am a writer too. I have to share that part of what I do... Art, writing, teaching, education don't occur in a vacuum. Their lives are so different from mine, our experiences rich for their own reasons. Will they be able to see that? Do they think of themselves writers?
"I think literature should be studied for the most serious of all reasons: it is fun. For a young writer it should be exciting as well (Hugo, xii)."
