A former English and German teacher at Peninsula College in Port Angeles, Derry helped conceive and direct the college’s Foothills Writers’ Series from 1980-2009.
Miller is a Tacoma poet known for his third collection, “Home and Away: the Old Town Poems,” in 2009. A retired public school teacher, Miller also has published in The Massachusetts Review, Crab Creek Review, The San Pedro River Review and The Museum of Americana.
