I highly recommend Detroit-based poet Brittany Rogers! We had her last year for a virtual teen poetry workshop and I was so impressed with her. She’s really
easy to work with/talk to and she is great with a teen audience. (I think she teaches at Cass Tech.) The teens wrote their own poem during the workshop and she structured it around self-portraits in poetry. Her email is
brittanyerogers@gmail.com and you can find her on Instagram, too:

Have a good New Year!

Subject: [Michlib-l] Looking for a Poetry Presenter
Hi all!
I was wondering if anybody knows of a good poetry presenter for a virtual poetry program. Our library was looking for one for our spring programming in April for Poetry Month and I don't have any in my lists.
I look forward to your responses!
