CPitS Poet Teacher Amanda Chiado

One of the currently active Santa Clara County CPitS poet/teachers is Amanda Chiado. She has just had a poem published in Dressing Room Poetry Journal.

You can read her poem, "Honey in Fur," here. I particularly like her line, "The argument of love is / somewhere in the middle." It makes me think of some ambiguous place between people, between any pair of beings, a place where the desperate and necessary battle between egos takes place.

Amanda lives and works in San Benito County, immediately to the south of Santa Clara County, where she is on the staff of the San Benito County Arts Council.

The more poetry the better in as many counties as possible.
