What is the aim or goal of your writing: 2nd ed. says, "I teach for free in many of the schools in Holland, Michigan, including the high school both American poetry and haiku and tanka; also in many of the surrouding schools. I attended the Sherwood Anderson Centenary at Michigan State University where I read a poem about him.
