Poet Errant
In today's age of aesthetic anarchy, endless distraction, and rampant misinformation, there has never been a greater need for the virtues which true poetry demands: critical thinking, philosophical insight, meditative focus, empathy, care for language, craftsmanship, beauty, and appreciation for the world and the human spirit. If you are interested in any of the following services, please inquire below for a quote. It would be my honor to work with you.

Apprenticeships
Forget workshops. If you are serious about learning how to improve your poetry, there is no more effective way than through a one-on-one apprenticeship. Using the same pedagogical model that I benefited from in my own elite MFA program, I will provide you thorough, line-by-line feedback on your poems every month, suggest readings and writing exercises, and answer any questions about craft, technique, inspiration, or po-biz that you may have. Glowing reviews from former students available upon request!

Consultations
Do you have a poem, essay, or manuscript that you're struggling with? A piece of writing that you feel is almost there, but needs an informed second opinion? Who better to take a look at it than someone who analyzes, writes, and publishes poems and criticism regularly? I will give you rigorous feedback and suggestions on your work so that you can make it the best version of itself.

Classes & Lectures
If you are a university professor or high school teacher and would like your students to experience the Versecraft method firsthand, I am available not only to travel but to create custom classes and lectures based on your interests and curriculum. I also offer classes and lectures via Zoom.

Patronage
Whether you simply need a custom poem for a special occasion or are interested in becoming a 21st century Medici, I am at your service. From fulfilling poetic commissions on demand to serving as the artist-in-residence of your commercial empire, you may count on me to beautify your events and glorify your legacy through original, well-crafted poems.
