Writers are my rock stars! As a literature professor, I bring writing to life for my students by showing how interesting writers can be. Here is a picture of when I met Sandra Cisneros, and what an inspiring individual!

By peeling back the layers of a piece of writing and, particularly, learning more about an author, literature can live!
