SPEAKERS

This year’s conference features keynote speaker Sara Holbrook, who has visited hundreds of schools as she shares her love for poetry with students of all ages. She has authored several books, including Practical Poetry and Outspoken: Improving Communication Skills Through Poetry, which she co-authored with Michael Salinger. Her numerous books for students include The Dog Ate my Homework and Am I Naturally This Crazy?

Sara’s performance poetry builds speaking skills, helping students to speak with clarity and conviction. She is passionate about giving students authentic reasons to write and strengthen their literacy skills through performance poetry.
