Hello!  I'm Leslie Goerner.  As a former teacher of English and creative writing, I enjoy practicing the craft and sharing it with others. Most poems on this site were first published by Bellowing Ark Press in Shoreline WA.  Kindle editions of the full-length books in which they appear are available on Amazon and hard copies may be purchased there as well. Simply click on the titles below.
