Before moving to the Finger Lakes region, I taught composition, literature, popular culture, and creative writing courses at several colleges, including SUNY Potsdam, SUNY Canton, Green Mountain College (Vermont), Jefferson Community College, and North Country Community College. Teaching in the Prisons Under the Auspices of Jefferson Commmunity College and North Country Community College, I have taught literature, poetry writing, and composition courses to prisoners in several medium security correctional facilities in northern New York. I find incarcerated students to be among the best motivated and most engaged students with whom I have worked . Chapbooks I have compiled and edited several chapbooks of poetry by students in my writing courses. I'm delighted to share some of those poems with you.heir poems with you.
