    (2003). Workshops and classes in poetry.

    Statement: Carolyn Kizer wrote in the foreword of OnPoetry & Craft by Theodore Roethke that when another student was critical of something eccentric she had tried in her poem, Roethke said to the student: You want to be very careful when you criticize something like that, because it may be the hallmark of an emerging style. Kizer wrote, He knew that our eccentricities are our true voice. As a poet myself, this is something I keep in mind while teaching—I must strive to help each poet grow by welcoming risk, experimentation, and by insisting they stretch themselves as writers.
