Adam Love
All types of knowledge ultimately mean self-knowledge
-Bruce Lee
Hello, my name is Adam Love. I’m originally from Salt Lake City, but moved to southern California several years ago for college. I graduated from the University of San Diego with degrees in Psychology and Philosophy. I am currently working on a Master of Fine Arts program, pursuing the advanced degree in Creative Writing with a concentration in Poetry. I aim to become a professor of Creative Writing and Literature some time in the future, but my keen interest is in the writing and reading of poetry.
I absolutely love teaching and working with diverse students from different backgrounds and ages. I am currently a preschool therapist at The Salt Lake City Children’s Center, and love doing that as well as teaching. I believe that creative education is the foundation school districts have been looking for; it is the best way to reach young students. Nothing empowers a self-conscious student who has consistently struggled with academic success than learning that he/she can succeed using their own hidden talents; by using he/her own creativity for purposes of education.
In my spare time, I love reading and writing poetry and fiction. I think that language arts are the perfect medium for inter/intra-personal communication, and I believe that some of our best ideas, thoughts, beliefs, and wishes come from literature. Some of my favorite poets include John Berryman, Louise Glück, Marie Howe, Ralph Angel, Jericho Brown, and Allen Ginsberg. My favorite fiction writers are Haruki Murakami, Cormac McCarthy, and Dave Eggers. I also love reading philosophical writings; I personally enjoy the non-fictional works of Carl Jung, Aristotle, Descartes, and Michele Foucault.
I am also an avid snowboarder, camper, and golfer, which is why the Utah lifestyle highly appeals to me. I love listening to music (and attempting to play/write some of my own) and I believe that music, just like poetry, is able to tell brilliant stories that reveal hidden truths about the human condition that are otherwise shrouded in mystery, and unquestioned.
With my love of knowledge and literature, I hope to use most of the wonderful experiences I’ve had in my life so far to connect with my students at Higher Ground and motivate them to seek all types of knowledge. I hope to encourage my students to think outside of the proverbial box that often stifles young, creative, and intelligent minds and find the version of themselves that they are destined to become.
