Considering that I grew up in Spain and received an oh so proper British education of classical poetry and literature, it’s a tad amazing that I did not attend an actual poetry session until just last week!! How flabbergasted I was to realize just how much I’d missed…

Until the age of 19, I was immersed in poetry and literature, analyzing and symbolizing it to death. Mr. and Mrs. Long were Oxford and Cambridge scholars, of the old school of Shakespeare and Milton, among countless others. They introduced me to such beautiful writing and began my literary education. They are to this day remembered fondly by all who were lucky enough to attend their school in Mallorca.
