Elaine Cory is a warm, supportive poetry mentor who has a fine sense of when a poem works and where
it could benefit from revision. She's also adept in bringing a group together and creating an atmosphere
that puts workshop members at ease. Her own poetry is bold and courageous, its rhythms often biblical
as well as sensuous.
Betty Buchsbaum, Poet and Professor/Dean Emerita at Massachusetts College of Art
