Resources for Educators and Parents

Picture
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.
