Poems
stir us, encourage us to wake, breathe deeply and experience life!
Poems are alive. They hold energy. You can discover this life and
energy in your words, in the cadence of your voice, and the feeling
inside your body upon reading a poem. There are indeed hints inside of
poems that become available to you as you write and hear them.

What poems offer relates not only to the present moment, but may come
as messengers from the past and clues important for your future
messages for you and for humanity. Poetry joins the personal with the
universal.

Writing allows us to discover how vulnerabilities and strengths can
co-exist, even thrive together. Poems can reveal deep insight and
compassion. They can give voice to what is raw and wounded in your life
and that honesty, creatively expressed and explored, can bolster and
guide you through rough times. Your writing can transform you at
profound levels.

"What do I want to say besides thank you?  When
I set out for the workshop, I had no idea I would be so completely
changed or become so completely myself again because of poetry and
you." --Shannon Klassel,   New York, New York
