Michele is the Coordinator of Graduate Studies & Associate Professor at The College of New Jersey. According to her website: "She teaches courses on Early American Literature, The Witch in Literature, Literature of the Prison, and Women's Autobiographies, Diaries, and Letters. She has established a volunteer program in New Jersey's only maximum-security prison for women, working with TCNJ students in co-teaching an inmates' memoir-writing class each semester." Professor Tarter asked me to photograph her for a book she has due out soon. I jumped at the chance to photograph such an interesting (and photogenic!) woman.
