After I posted my Robert Pinsky story , I sent the link to Facebook and got this comment from Sally T., a Facebook friend I know through homeschooling—not writing—circles: Heh — that would have been about the same time that I was poetry editor at Quarterly West, at the U of Utah.

Last week I had the pleasure of being part of a panel discussion on beginning homeschooling at the 1 st Annual New England Catholic Homeschooling Conference. I have just finished my first year of formal homeschooling my two sons who have successfully completed 2 nd and 1 st grade. I am hardly what one would consider a homeschooling veteran.
