Hey schools!  I'd love to come in and do a 

Poetry Art presentation and project with you too!  Contact me:  Poetryartist@yahoo.com

and we will see what I can arrange.

My passion is encouraging youth to dream big.

Glassford Hill Middle School, I look forward to

seeing you next year! 

(By the way, this mural that we are standing in front of was done by a talented artist and poet at GHMS, keep up the great work!)

I visited Glassford Hill Middle School in Prescott Valley, Arizona on Thursday, May 24.

I spent the entire day with hundreds of students, as I exhibited Poetry Art in the Library, talked about this unique art form and headed up an art project with the kids that allowed them to do Poetry Art for themselves.

What a blast!  

The students got to work with black construction paper, bleach (sorry parents!) and oil pastels, as they wove their own poetry into a masterpiece.  I can't tell you how impressed I was with all of the fabulous poems and finished pieces of art.  There are some budding artists and writers at Glassford Hill!  I would like to thank the staff at this great school for having me as a guest,

particularly, these teachers:  Mark Segarra, Julie Rodriguez and StacyBooher.  You three Rock! I don't know how you do what you do everyday!  You have the energy and stamina of teenagers.
