Her love of poetry and literature, of all genres, was self evident in her classroom discussions. One of the classes was a serious examination of pulp fiction novels by authors like Mickey Spillane, Jim Thompson, Chester Himes, and Raymond Chandler that infused a lot of their works with deeper meaning. I didn't know she had a book out though. I'll have to pick it up.</p>
