My teaching is methodologically individualized: I teach to the student's need, depending on age, background, and objective. Generally, though, if you want to learn to write better, it is useful to read as much as possible and as well as possible. Writing requires practice and patience, but it also requires soaking up good writing. We read, we write, we live.

Perfect! Terry is a tremendous teacher with a profound knowledge of poetry. I consider it a rare privilege to study with him. I highly recommend Terry. He'll change the way you read and appreciate poetry.
- So far so good, Wendy! You are a highly intelligent, thoughtful person, and you write very well. Equally important, you have good ideas. We'll work on the novel until it's what you want it to be. I have every confidence that you'll get it there.Terry's response :
