“Working with devorah major has done more to enhance my poetry and poetics than the practice of daily poems I generate in pursuit of an MFA. The opportunity to work with her one-on-one feels like an apprenticeship to a master whose finely-tuned eye is turned to my work gently and directly correcting and guiding my poetry to clarity.
Ms. major has shown me patterns my poems were falling into. Working with her has given me practical tools and a deeply-informed critical perspective to make me a better poet. I can say confidently I am a better poet thanks to devorah major’s generosity as a reader, grace as a poet, and thoughtful expertise as an instructor and counsel. My emerging poems are a testament to her guidance.”

“I have known Devorah for years and one thing always that strikes me about her is noticeable energy, and fire in her words and heart which reflects in her work as a poet and as a editor”
