Guest Poets Still Wanted!

Hey So Cal Poets,

Because so many of you wanted to visit my teens...and it killed me to have to turn you down because of budgetary concerns...I'm going to try something new...I might be crazy but...let's try an afternoon Guest Poet schedule exclusively for my 2nd Period class...in addition to the already scheduled morning one which will now be only for my 1st Period.

These 2nd Period sessions will take place between 2pm and 3pm on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays (no lunch, of course)...and between 11am and 12pm on Fridays (with lunch). And just like with the poets visiting my 1st Period, you need only share three of your own poems, answer any questions the kids might have, and, if you'd like to, offer them a writing idea. So, if you couldn't get onto the Period 1 schedule, and you'd still like to share your poetry, please let me know which date is best for you...and I will find a way to compensate you for your time.

Here are the openings for poets to visit my 2nd Period class:
