What is the aim or goal of your writing: My goal is to witness the world and to write the best poetry I'm capable of. As regards the children's work, I believe the world needs to hear from them, since we are rapidly destroying their world as if they didn't exist. I'm hoping my book, on how to teach the creative process to students, will enable teachers to incorporate the creative process into the learning process, as I believe they are one. I also hope I will be able to raise some money, through the sale of the book of the children's poems, to provide assistance to homeless children.

May inquiries be sent to you about doing workshops, readings: Yes

Only questions regarding what I do at a school residency or an adult workshop at the Windrise Center.
