My poems have appeared in U.S. anthologies and School Magazine Australia. My work's key underlying purpose is to inspire schools to regularly celebrate poetry and to explore it across the curriculum. As an anthologist, I have published the work of poets from around the world in DEAR TOMATO (food + agriculture) and the award-winning AND THE CROWD GOES WILD! (sports).
I am also an avid paper crafter who enjoys and specializes in making books of various types including those that are interactive.

Creative Approach and Experiences Offered
BOOK ARTS:As an avid and passionate paper crafter, I offer workshops in book arts. Foldable books are my main specialty. Participants will delight in making these books whose key appeal lies in the innovative way they open and close. My other specialty is junk journals which are books made from recycled and/or upcycled papers and then embellished with various techniques.
POETRY:
Poetry is about connection: how poetry connects us to ourselves, others, the curriculum, and the world. My presentation style consists of part lecture, part interactive sharing of poems, and part writing workshop. Students will have the opportunity to write three to five poems during visits. I am available to cover specific poetic styles including but not limited to parodies, riddle poems, list poems, and found poetry. I can also offer talks on poetry and food, poetry about sports, and poetry connections to science, technology, engineering, arts, and math.
