What We Do:
English teachers throughout the years have “gotten” poetry. We love it, we embrace it, we think we understand it. Then it comes time to teach it to our students and we are flummoxed as to how to get our students to get poetry and to love it the way we do.

Through many years of practical experience in the classroom we’ve developed an approach to poetry to help students and teachers alike learn to understand the immortal words of poets. Check out our weekly podcasts as we work our way through our approach and explore poetry from near and far. Or find us performing or presenting in your area.

Interested in booking us for a professional development day at your school? Send us an email with dates, times, location, and topics and we’ll get back to you with a quote. We live in Milwaukee, WI so the further away you are, the more our travel costs will be.
Maybe a private coaching session is more your speed. We do Skype and phone sessions to discuss using techniques in your classroom and how to more effectively engage students in poetic discourse. We can do this individually or with your whole department. Send us an email to discuss dates and rates.
