WHAT STUDENTS ARE SAYING ABOUT VIOLETA'S CLASSES:

"I really feel like I have learned so much and grown as a writer. And I feel certain that this class has improved my overall well-being as a person and mother. It's been a warm cup of tea for me these past few months that will linger as I return to poetry in the future." - Skila B.

"Violeta's lectures and comments were wise, relevant, accessible, very generous and sharing of her own experience,"- Susannah P.

"The discipline of having weekly reading assignments and writing exercises has been truly a gift. If it weren't for being 12 weeks from baby #3, I would immediately sign up for another class,"- MaryAnn
