Hello

And welcome to my website. I'm a performance poet and teacher educator working in New Zealand schools. I'm a wholehearted advocate of 'Poetry for Literacy' because poetry brings words and the world alive, in ways that only poetry can. Poetry has the power to make literacy exciting, enriching, and sensational fun!

The Interactive Poetry Show 2011

'Exceptionally well received.' 'We greatly admired your enthusiasm, creativity, inclusion and talent.' 'Our tamariki were enchanted and are still talking about your performance.' 'They had so much fun...motivating and inspiring.'
