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. 😉
