Poetry Camp Staff
Miss Hodgkins teaches high school literature at Caldwell and has loved poetry for a very long time. She likes talking about it, writing it, reading it aloud and to herself, cutting it apart and putting it back together, and painting it on walls in very big letters. We may do all of these things at camp (and possibly more).
