Testimonials

Shirley

“For a few weeks I was mentored by Georgia on different poetic forms. Georgia was helpful, perceptive, precise in her comments and above all generous in her teaching. Georgia is very current about the trends in the poetry world and this made the work lively and interesting. Although this was a short period of tuition, I still feel grateful to her for freeing me up over the ways I could write.”

Pepe

“The mentoring from Georgia has been instrumental in revivifying both my confidence and my creativity. Plus it’s been fun! A naturally enabling teacher and mentor, she has shown a genuine interest in my writing, while always
being prepared to question, make suggestions, and crucially, expand my poetic horizons in ways I’ve found inspirational and enabling. Georgia wears her own learning very lightly, but is steeped in extensive reading of contemporary, and less recent poetry, and in reading around it, which I’ve found invaluable. She can always suggest connections and new avenues that might be useful to explore.”
