A funny moment:

I am a TA for the Place for Writers at Mills where I coordinate the works in progress, student and faculty reading series. It has been an exciting year because Mills partnered with OSA (Oakland School for the Arts) to have high school students from the literary arts department open up each WIP with a reading. The reason I mention this is because I and one of my students from OSA read on the same night. This student gave a shout out to Kate and I calling us Krittany and explaining that "we kept bringing in poetry that didn't make any sense but sounded good" needless to say it was hilarious-she went on to say that what she got most out of the class was experimentation with form and then went on to read an exceptional poem she had written for our class. It was a proud moment. Her joking aside though it was a wonderfully tender moment and even though she was teasing us, as usual, she really sort of hit the experimental nail on the head!
