[New-Poetry] Introduction

[Elaine Brown]

Hello,

I have recently joined the New Poetry listserv and so thought I should
introduce myself to the group.

My name is Elaine Brown.  Originally from Alaska, I now live in Montreal,
Quebec, Canada with my daughter, Rachel.  We also lived in Flagstaff,
Arizona for three years where I was a student of Jim Simmerman¹s.  He was an
excellent teacher.  I will always regard him as the person that opened the
door to my really beginning to understand how to write.  In Montreal, Rachel
is attending French elementary school, and as a result becoming bi-lingual.
And I am there attending a doctoral program in philosophy at McGill
University.  I¹ll admit it is a struggle to balance my poet life with my
philosophy life but I venture on trying.  It¹s been a pleasure reading the
various discussions happening here at New Poetry, and I appreciate the poems
that have recently been posted as well.  It¹s always a pleasure to be
reminded of the many many ways it is possible to write a poem.

All the best to the others at New Poetry.
Sincerely,
Elaine Brown
