Rebecca Willner is a High School English Teacher who dabbles in poetry writing and translation. Originally from New Jersey, she moved to Providence to study Latin and Ancient Greek at Brown University. Four years at Brown were just not enough, so she stuck around to complete her Master of Arts in Teaching. She now works full-time teaching in Woonsocket. She writes poetry that is fragmentary by nature, in an attempt to conceptualize other ways of crystallizing voices of women. She is working on a website (oops).
