STUDENT COMMENT: "I thought Angie's handouts were excellent.  The class was very well structured.  I liked the way she kept things moving, kepts us on track.  I especially appreciated how she shared her formal knowledge with us.  I could see she's been a serious student of poetry, and she passed a lot of her knowledge and perceptions on to us." ~Eve Robillard, Madison, WI
