For roughly the price of a couple of credits at a state university, you can take one of Barbara’s 12-session workshops, or for a C-note you can attend one session if there’s space. I would drop $100 for a session just because her web site is so top notch! It is really impressive.
Besides her impressive teaching qualifications and extensive canon of published works, she has garnered high praise from students (as quoted on her web site).
I can only say that I am highly intrigued.

Christina holds a B.A. in English with a concentration in creative writing from Cal State Northridge. She also had the pleasure of working on multiple collegiate literary journal committees, thoroughly enjoying every moment. Writing poetry has been a part of her since she can remember. She finds it is one of the few things in life that she can count on to stir her at her core.
