My name is Sherry
Poff. I am a mother of four, wife of one, and teacher of many.
I have a degree in education from Concord College in Athens,
West Virginia, and an MA in English/Writing from the University
of Tennessee in Chattanooga.
I have lived in Chattanooga
since 1978, but am originally from southern West Virginia. Back
in my undergraduate days I wrote short fiction and poetry that
was published in my college's literary magazine, but have concentrated
on non-fiction in recent years. I enjoy writing about my memories
and experiences growing up in Appalachia and also enjoy telling
stories related to my years in the classroom. I have had inspirational
and personal experience pieces published in The Joyful Woman
and Daily Meditation. I am interested in writing a
regular newspaper column that might one day develop into a collection
for a book.
