 Detroit 's acclaimed InsideOut Literary Arts 
 Project, a poets-in-schools program serving

 English in 1968 after graduating from Antioch

 Voices from the Myths" (Ridgeway Press, 1998)

 anthologies and journals, including Marlboro 
 Review, Michigan Quarterly Review, Florida 
 Review, Borderlands, Artful Dodge, The MacGuffin 
 and Nimrod. Her essays have been published

 Language Arts Journal of Michigan and 
 anthologies from the Teachers & Writers Collaborative. 
 She was a finalist for the 2009 Pablo

 the Labyrinth" and other poems. She has received 
 many recognitions for her teaching, including
