After a visit to South Platte Schools in Big Springs, the rave reviews have been coming in for teaching poetry to students in elementary, middle and high school grades:
“FIVE STARS”
“If he came again I would drop everything, miss all my classes, and take zeros in every class just to hear him again.”
“I didn’t think I would enjoy poems. But Mason said stuff truly made me kind of understand what poetry kind of is.”
“He really brought out my spark…I hope he can come visit again.”
“I think a lot more schools should invite him”
I’m excited to be out, and just got home from schools in Dunning and Gothenburg, I’m grateful to Poetry Forward making these visits happen.
