Teacher

In August of 2009, Meggie Monahan packed up her green Jeep named Blanche and drove from Philadelphia to Houston with lousy air conditioning. Before coming to Texas, Meggie studied literature in Washington, D.C. and spent some time with the Philadelphia Deaf community, teaching adult daily living skills to folks with special needs. Meggie is an MFA student at the University of Houston, where she writes poetry, teaches freshmen, and serves as Nonfiction Editor for Gulf Coast. Her poetry has appeared or is forthcoming in Sonora Review, Cimarron Review, The Los Angeles Review, Greensboro Review, NANO Fiction, Third Coast, and elsewhere. Meggie is happy to report that Blanche is still alive and kicking, and she is looking forward to racking up some more miles by traveling to her first WITS classroom this year.
