Alison Apotheker, Writing & English Faculty
Welcome to my homepage! I’ve been teaching composition, literature and creative writing at PCC Rock Creek campus for 25 years, both in-person, remotely, and online. Simply put: I love teaching. I find it a deeply engaging and creative act. I revise my classes every term, trying new approaches and activities. Sometimes they are successful!!
ABOUT ME
I grew up in Delaware and attended the University of Massachusetts for Communications. After college, I wandered for a while and then made my way to graduate school to study what I had been doing ever since I was a kid–writing poems. After I earned my MFA in Poetry at University of Arkansas in Fayetteville, I made my way out to Oregon, and soon after, landed my dream job of teaching here at PCC on the beautiful Rock Creek campus and published a collection of poems called Slim Margin.
Here’s a link to Garrison Keillor reading a poem of mine on the Writer’s Almanac.
