And, Maya Angelous’ poetry and writing made me feel like I could make a difference in the world.

About ivonprefontaine
I completed a PhD at Gonzaga University in Spokane, WA. Previously, I taught for 20 years and taught for 15 years in a wonderful hybrid school. My dissertation topic and research were how certain teachers experience becoming who teachers. In teaching and leanring, I am a boundary-crosser who understands moving ahead is a leap of faith. Teaching is a calling and vocation to express who I am as a person. Currently, I am waiting and listening to what calls me next. I am an educator, phenomenologist, scholar, boundary-crosser, published poet, author, parent, grandparent, and spouse.7 responses »

RIP Maya Angelou. One of the finest poets of our generation.
She most certainly is and her voice will never be silenced.
Thank you, Ivon. I have just begun to learn of her profundities, and my thoughts echo yours, in the sense of exceeding the drop to overflow a bucket. She was oceans big, and like an ocean, she will continue.
She definitely will. Poetry is timeless and adding a strong voice like Maya Angelou’s makes the poetry transcendent.
THANK YOU for remembering and honoring her!!!! 🙂
You are welcome Jonathan.
“Fellow Teaching-Poetry” dittoes to you, my friend!!!!
