Notes: "The Jump Start Your Writing series began with a conversation between Lonny Kaneko and Susan Landgraf. Both teach at Highline Community College and are board members of The Northwest Renaissance, a non-profit literary and performing arts organization with a thirty-year history. They proposed a partnership with the college through the Center of Extended Learning to offer poetry workshops led by a different poet or artist each month."--The introduction.
