 "Sublime
illustrations and keenly observant verse are sure to
captivate in this collection about a hummingbird who
sets up house in the author's backyard..."
Publishers Weekly, starred review
"As
in the best nature writing, the excitement here is in
the particulars that bring readers up close to
universe." Booklist, starred review

Visitor
A spark, a
glint,
a glimpse
of pixie tidbit.
Bright flits, brisk zips,
a green-gray blur,
wings, zings, and whirr —
I just heard
a humming of bird

Welcome!
As an author of children's poetry, I'm often not sure what delights me more
— writing poetry
or sharing my love of poetry. You'll find
information here about my published work, samples of some
of my poems, audio recordings and poetry podcasts,
teacher's guides, poetry activities for students, as
well as the first of what I hope will be a selection
of poetry videos.
It's hard for me to believe that this site has been
up since 1997. At that time, it was one of only a
handful of children's author websites and, quite
possibly, the only one devoted to poetry for young
readers. Since then,
technology has changed dramatically, yet the web
continues to be a wonderful way to connect with students,
teachers, librarians, and parents. I hope you'll find these
resources helpful for teaching, writing,
sharing, and enjoying children's poetry.
