Via this link you can read English professor Hank Kellner’s latest article on Using Poems and Photos to Inspire Writing, an article that incorporates my poem, The Color of Sadness. Throughout our lives, if we’re lucky, teachers guide us. English teachers have been very important in my life. That is why I am so honored to have met Hank who is so dedicated to helping other teachers inspire their students to write. He enables teachers to help their students view a photo or a poem as a launching point. He has certainly helped me view my own writing with new eyes. I wrote the Color of Sadness as an expression of lingering grief over the loss of my parents. I have watched him turn it into a teaching tool. What an amazing world. 😉

Lovely testament to a great teacher. My life was hugely influenced by my HS French teacher who made the subject come to life. I ended up majoring in French in college and studying in France which further reinforced my curiosity about other cultures and the joy of travel. Thank God for good teachers!
Lovely
