I am the poet of heart

and I am the poet of life.

I am the poet of the wind and

I am the poet of the rain."

“My student Larry and I really enjoyed your workshop...I think it was your way of presenting poetry and writing in general as a work in progress and not emphasizing that it has to be correct or perfect the first time.” Jefferson R., Literacy Tutor, Boston
