Hello!

I teach in the MFA in Writing for Children and Young Adults program at Vermont College of Fine Arts in Montpelier, Vermont. I love writing and teaching writing. I also like doing school visits and retreats for writers.

I hope you'll enjoy. Email me at: SharonDarrow@​hotmail.com.

from TRASH:

Garbage

I hate
how

we breathe it
wear it
stain our hands with it
smell of it

Our boots & overalls
Aunt Lannie's long dresses
streaked with it

(her religion won't let her wear pants)

Uncle Daddy drives the pickup
past a row of cans,downwind

always downwind

Boy & me knock off the lids
lift the cans up to Aunt Lannie
standing on the heap
in wading boots, bandanna
over her nose

She empties them into the trailer
chucks them at my brother
& me & we slam

lids back on
Rowed up neat
empty they sit

Sour air hangs in the road
after we drive on
