About Me

Hello, and welcome! My name is Erica Goss. I write poetry, essays, reviews and articles. I teach writing classes focused on the relationship between art and poetry, also known as ekphrasis.

My goal as a teacher is to foster creative communities. My classes are not just about writing and publishing, but about supporting and encouraging fellow writers. One of our most important responsibilities as artists is to connect with others, help them grow and improve, and develop lasting relationships with each other. This is my teaching philosophy, in a nutshell.

My students have published their poetry and reviews in many literary journals. Just as importantly, they stay in touch with each other, help each other, listen, and offer constructive feedback. In my classes, we learn together.
