“I love Sean Petrie and his band of spontaneous writers — they always lift the mood.”
– Naomi Shihab Nye, young people’s poet laureate
Writing poems on-the-spot is one of my favorite things! I’ve done over 15,000 at events all over the country.
I also love sharing what I’ve learned in workshops, school visits, & fun stage shows.
