Anndee is the kind of teacher you can't help but love. She's generous of her knowledge, witty, smart and let's you do your thing, all the while guiding and nurturing your work. Anndee is also an inspired writer who sees the world and writes about it from her own keen and honest perspective.
We had finished our time with Anndee and now we had to work with the poetry class to tack down the reading order for our Friday presentations. Here we were, as one whole crew. Anndee was jotting down our names and the kinds of pieces we would be sharing (a la - funny, morbid, erotic, historical).
Anndee got to my name and asked about my piece. I tried describing it as bittersweet, but Anndee wasn't having it.
She replied with a loving smirk, "Intense, I would call your piece...intense."
It didn't matter what we called it. I was going to read it - out loud. and without Anndee and the friends in my class, I would have never had the guts and glory to share it.
