Poems are the precious, essential, and powerful words that reside within each of us.

— Poetry is for everyone, because poetry explores what it is to be human, and holds our experiences with compassionate awe.

Poetry in Practice

In Community

When we tune our hearts and ears to poetry in shared spaces, connection, curiosity, and belonging are created.

Nurturing artistic confidence early. I design and guide enthusiastic poetry sessions within schools to help young students grow their mastery of language and compassion.

Restorative Words

Creating spaces where poetry offers comfort, connection, and self-expression for individuals navigating illness, recovery, grief, and life’s profound transitions.

Every Voice

Cultivating joyful, accessible poetry experiences that celebrate the many ways children think, learn, communicate, and create.

Media & Conversations

Join me for conversations about the transformative role of poetry, creative literacy, and equitable access to the arts in education and public life.

I enjoy working with adults in both retreat and workshop settings to see how poetry enables deep investigation and map-making.

Selected poems, and other works — a place to sit with the words themselves.
