  "We may not all be poets, but everyone has poetry!"
​-Bill Buczinsky

Poetry Day
     A Poetry Day combines group performances and writing workshops. If you want your students to love reading and writing, teach them poetry. Its playfulness appeals to all ages and helps build literacy. 
Open ​Mic Night
     Add an Open Mic Night and give your students a chance to recite their poems for friends and family.  Bill is the host, your kids are the stars and your families bask in the glow. 
Residency  
Give me a few days in your school and I will capture the imagination of your most reluctant readers, inspire ideas in your most gifted writers and empower all your students to write more skillfully.

We'll go thoroughly through what all powerful writers do. The entire writing process carefully pursued!

​
Poetry-
Small thing.
​Big impact!
