Quote
Sensory details are key elements in writing. If you awaken a person’s senses you awaken their imagination, memory and emotions. I love photography and painting, so painting a picture with words feeds the poet and visual artist in me.

Alice Hoffman Writers Retreat @ Adelphi University
The annual Alice Hoffman Writers Retreat is always my one of my favorite teaching residencies--a chance to work with intergenerational educators and students to make poems, try new performance techniques, and showcase our work at a live open mic.
We have worked with artist David Flores for the past several years to create videos combining our writing and performance in a rich, new media format.
These student videos are brilliant. Check them out below!

Poetry & Nature @ Adelphi University
Teaching the Poetry & Nature course at Adelphi University was one of the most exciting experiences of my teaching life--I loved getting the chance to explore writing through the lens of nature. Loved the chance to change perspectives and learn from students who are studying Science, Chemistry, Biology--how those subjects unearth new ideas and new chances for experimentation.
Hemisphere is a collection that uses the body and landscape as means for dialogue and exploration. I used this teaching residency to do the same. Check out some of the videos that showcase our work.
