V. C. KAELIN, Poet
Valérie C. Kaelin began writing poetry as a teenager. Her commitment to professional production began by enrolling in a workshop with Lynn Crosbie in 1998. Valérie workshops her poems twice a month with Muse Cooperative in preparation for publication. With the completion of In the Academy (E.F. Kaelin, 2006), the storyboard for Module 2 (2007-2012) and the 1998-2011 Production Bible for the School of Image Arts, she returns to an accelerated program of poetry and fiction in 2013.
