The City of Orlando’s Poet Laureate

“I find myself drawn to the threshold where creative and clinical work converge. In poetry, all that is true of the human experience—yet wordless and elusive—is given the honor of language. It is the weaving of words, written and spoken, that invites us to expand our personal and collective narratives. Poetry stirs us to imagine and embrace infinite possibilities.”

“With all the uncertainty, pain, and chaos in our world, there’s also a deep hunger to see the beauty and goodness that exists alongside the challenges. Poetry has the bandwidth to give us a place to put our pain, a way to savor beauty, and the ability to tell the truth about both things at the same time.”
