Feedback from eCourse Student

"  I printed [the assignments] out and took them with me. A traveling class! The class was a very flexible...I got a better view of myself as a person. I blossomed as I wrote. The class was a real self discovery as well as a spring board to writing, a medium I had be so afraid of prior to this class and meeting Kara at MISS in May. The words just flowed, something very new for me!...I write with confidence now, even in business correspondence. Thank you! I look much deeper at things because my mind allows free thoughts to explore in ways that were unknown before the class. Words have a creative, exploring nature now. More free thoughts have occured because of this."
-Laura Curtis, Bereaved SIDS parent and SWA Group Associate

Facilitator Biography

Kara L.C. Jones is a graduate of Carnegie Mellon University where she honed her poetic craft under the mentorship of Jim Daniels. Her poetic and non-fiction works have been included in publications such as New Works Review, PoetsWest, Real Henna, Shared Heart Foundation's "Meant To Be", LightHearts Publication's "Soul Trek", MISSing Angels Newsletter, American Tanka, Mother Tongue Ink's We'Moon, Honored Babies, Cup of Comfort series, and more. Because she refused to give her grief writing over to the control of outside editors and publishers after the death of her son, she and her husband Hawk founded KotaPress in 1999 as a creative outlet for their expressive artworks. She has been facilitating online and in-person workshops for over 10 year, including sessions offered at the International MISS Conferences, WA State Poets Association Burning Word festivals, and Course Bridge.
