So, the 2022/2023 academic year has come to an end. I returned from maternity leave late last year and since then I’ve taught classes on the sonnet, Sylvia Plath, Keats, Robert Browning and Elizabeth Barrett Browning plus two extended series on writing poetry. That’s a lot! I’m looking forward to taking some time over the summer to focus on catching up with my reading and maybe even writing some poems of my own.
I’ll still be doing some teaching this summer though, and you can see a list below. I am also currently expanding my list of poets I work with on a one-to-one basis. If you want some personalised feedback on your poems or are putting together a pamphlet or collection get in touch via whelan.mariah [at] gmail.com.
