When C.D. was my teacher at Brown, we read all sorts of books, all sorts of poets. Her reading was eclectic, absorbent. I remember the first night she invited all the poetry students to spend the night at her house. She gave us a rousing talk encouraging us to be brave, to write large poems of significance, to present our work on the college lawn—to be risky, relevant, real. - Camille Guthrie
