Five Questions with Poetry Instructor, Cheryl Wilder

1.) When did you know you wanted to be a writer?

When Mr. Langford, my high school English teacher, pulled me aside a month before I graduated, a stack of my creative assignments in his hand, and said, “If you enjoy doing this, keep doing it.”

2.) What do you love most about the writing process?

I love the quiet monastic work of deep revision.
