“I love Sean Petrie and his band of spontaneous writers.
I love encountering them anywhere — they always lift the mood.”
– Naomi Shihab Nye, young people’s poet laureate
Writing poems for strangers on-the-spot is one of my favorite things. I’ve been lucky enough to do over 10,000 of them, at events all across the country.
I also love being able to share what I’ve learned and explore new creative connections — whether in teaching workshops, doing school visits, or performing free-flowing stage shows.
