Wow - who knew you would be there when I finally decided to let on I'm a poet ready to write again. Thank God! Thank you! Thank you, ACA, for facilitating this series!

I just loved your class. Thank you for facilitating this workshop! We covered so much in four weeks. It was a wonderful experience and I look forward to working with you again! So sorry this is ending… it was so wonderful.

The workshop on poetry that M. B. McLatchey ran was one of the most rewarding experiences I have had in a long time.  As a professional singer I have sung so many poems and studied them but never tried my hand at writing one.  I was nervous since most were already "poets".  M. B. immediately made me comfortable and I felt at ease to share what I was doing.   She was supportive and encouraging and has made me want to continue writing poetry.  I would take another workshop with her at the drop of a hat.  I cannot thank her enough for the insights and guidance she provided in an atmosphere of kindness and support.

Thank you for your inspired leadership during this workshop experience.  I sincerely regret having missed the first two sessions.  My friend Carole invited me to your next to last session and I was smitten by your gentle and knowledgeable style.  My goodness - how fortunate for us you are willing to teach, lead, and inspire fellow poets!

I have really enjoyed your enthusiasm and insights into what can make better poetry.  I have enjoyed meeting and interacting with the other poets…both those whom I know and others whose voices continue to inspire.
