Meet the instructor...

Hi, I'm Michelle - It's nice to meet you! I'm a poet based in New Orleans, LA. I have been writing and studying poetry for over 15 years and hold a B.A. in English; Writing. I live with my partner and our dog (and fearless squirrel chaser) Eli. I have a day job writing marketing proposals, and I spend most weekends either binge watching TV or at a coffee shop working on poetry things.

In 2021, I self-published my first full-length collection, Soul Trash, Space Garbage. You can find more of my writing on Instagram under the name @theconstantpoet.
