Join Dave Johnson Workshop to write daily new poems in only 10 minutes.Click the banner for two series of video poetry workshops where poet，playwright and educator Dave Johnson chooses a poet each day，and takes us through a close reading of their work.He gives us an instruction based on their work，then a short biography and reads an additional poem.These workshops are fun and surprising，for teens through adults，free.
The Thompson Foundation Initiative
The highlight of our teen poetry workshop program is the Thompson Foundation Initiative，through which noted poets visit high school classrooms followed by free follow-up class visits to Poets House.Recent teachers have included Dave Johnson，Jive Poetic，and Mahogany Browne.This initiative is meant to increase access to poetic education for under served schools and students by combining hands-on instruction from established poets with on-site visits to our extensive library.Students engage with poetry through reading，writing，and art projects that integrate the visual and linguistic.
If you are a teacher interested in this program，please reach out to Reggie Harris to arrange sessions for your class.Free class trips for all age levels are also available outside of this program.
