Genesis

"On our earth, before writing was invented, before the printing press was invented, poetry flourished. That is why we know poetry is like bread; it should be shared by all, by scholars and by peasants, by all our vast, incredible, extraordinary family of humanity."
-Pablo Neruda

After a very successful pilot class at Wheeler Elementary (portfolio available here), our little project has expanded to five schools, thanks to a generous grant from the Vermont Arts Council. I am currently planning for fall and winter workshops, readings, and events. More updates as they come!
