“Dora, thank you so much for your continuous support and feedback. I think I am walking out of this class with a different perspective on form and life, and thank you so much for all the wisdom you have imparted on me. I am a better poet because of you. “

Thank you Dora Prieto for your encouragement, which gave me the courage to experiment and play.

Dora Prieto’s feedback throughout the course inspired and motivated me. Her comments on my work prompted me to think deeply about the decisions I made in my writing, the ways I could release myself from my perfectionism, and the connection between poetry and life as a student. I looked forward to attending her seminars each week, as she always encouraged me and my peers to leave our comfort zones and step into a place of vulnerable exploration.
