Which author wrote In Mrs. Tilscher's Class?

• A. Carol Ann Duffy
• B. Joss Whedon
• C. Ruth B
• D. Major Jackson

Answer: (A)

Carol Ann Duffy wrote it. This poem comes from her body of work that often centers on memory, school days, and the intimate moments of growing up, delivered in direct, vivid language that captures both detail and feeling. The voice and images feel unmistakably Duffy’s, which is why this piece is attributed to her. The other names are not connected to this poem—Joss Whedon is a screenwriter/director, Ruth B is a singer-songwriter, and Major Jackson is a poet who does not write this particular work.
