Teaching, Workshops, Readings
Energize
I strive to energize poets with meaningful, positive feedback alongside inspiring and challenging readings that affirm what is strong and powerful in their writing.
Embrace
I embrace the role of facilitator and guide as we workshop, allowing voices to be heard, honored, respected, and amplified.
Embody
I embody spaciousness and invite inspiration from writing and creative work of all kinds into my workshops.
Encourage
I create safe spaces for writers to explore their poems and writing-lives. I'm interested solely, in encouraging writers' development of skills and creativity.
Empower
Poems we look at in workshops are not sick. They are not on the operating table to be fixed. iIn my workshops, poets maintain autonomy and ownership of their work.
