Meeting Dr. Miriam Kotzin

Last night I had the pleasure of meeting Miriam Kotzin at the monthly gathering in Vineland of the Writers' Society. A writer of poetry and fiction, Dr. Kotzin is an associate professor of English at Drexel University, directs the Certificate Program in Writing and Publishing and teaches creative writing and literature. At the Society's gathering, she presented an interesting array of poetic work and offered some insight into the forms poetry can take. Her poetry has a earthy feel and depicts life as it is seen in the moment thru the eyes of the beholder. Heart-felt memories show up as themes on occasion. Dr. Kotzin's description of Flash Fiction was enlightening, as this is a new genre for me. The selections she read were delightful.....so delightful, in fact, that I was prompted to purchase one of her books, Just Desserts, Flash Fiction, published by Star Cloud Press, Scottsdale, AZ. She also has two books of poetry published. One is titled, Weights and Measurements. If you have a moment, check Dr. Kotzin out on the web via Drexel University's site.
