Moe Phillips – Observing What’s Vivid in Prose and Poetry

Marc Olmsted was a terrific and inspiring teacher. His genuine love for poetry is clear. The material he shared to explain poetic approaches were unique, interesting and well researched. His critiques were thorough, kind and supportive. It was a very free environment in his class and I felt encouraged to let the poet in me loose to work and play. Marc’s insights to everyone’s posts were helpful and on point. I really could see he cared about what we were writing.
