“From the whole team at the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) at UNCW, thank you for your outstanding contribution to our program once again this year. Your four-part course on writing nature poetry was universally well received by the participants and much appreciated!” -Jennifer Heber-Brown, Program Coordinator

Testimonials from participants in OLLI 3-session course:

“Joanne is an excellent facilitator. I learned much about this topic. I would recommend her course for any lover of poetry. Brava Joanne!”

“What a wonderful opportunity to be inspired by a new form of poetry…I would take any course that she offered.”

“This is a lovely course that coaxed out that inner poet in all of us. Joanne shared a wealth of her resources. And she generously gave her own time to communicate out of class, providing a greater forum for our efforts.”

“Joanne was terrific! She was engaging and supportive and knowledgeable. 100% recommend!”
