Resources for Educators and Parents
|
From the National Student Poets Program to the Dodge Foundation Poets in Schools Program, I have had the privilege of working with inspiring and talented young writers from across the country who are voicing their new world into being.
As a young writer, I could have never imagined that today my own work would be used to teach and inspire young people, and it is one of the things for which I feel most thankful. Below are some resources for parents and educators that might prove useful or productive when discussing my poems with young people. |
Teachers and parents can use this guide for reading my poems
"Poem Resisting Arrest" & “A House Divided” with young readers/writers (from LMS Voices & CommonLit). |

In this video feature, I discuss MotionPoems, the organization that produced an animated film of my poem
"The Robots Are Coming". |
