I am a former fifth and sixth grade teacher and am comfortable presenting to students PreK-8 and to teachers. I tailor my presentations according to the needs of the class. I have presented at numerous elementary schools across the country and have also taught poetry in the New York City schools. This year, I presented a lecture at National Conference of Teachers of English entitled “Getting to the Heart of the Matter: Helping Students Find Their Inner Poets.” Please write to me on my contact page if you are interested in having me speak at your school.
