Nina is one of society’s underdogs, who can do extraordinary things with her words.
She is wickedly entertaining with the ability to make you laugh out loud and pull on your heart strings.

Workshops? Let me show you what I do.
What is a poetry workshop?
It is a time of discussion and constructive work in which students read and analyze poetry, consider methods and techniques used by other poets, and receive helpful and insightful critiques of each others' work. As a group, they learn how to be better writers by working together and sharing their interests, passions, knowledge, and experience.
The opportunity
For students to share their struggles, offer encouragement that anyone can survive, and show that poetry can heal.
Validation
That it is possible to turn struggles into beauty and push through.
The promise
To listen without judgement.

From the students
-
Ever since this young girl that the professor brought into the class a while back to read to us from her poem book she had written herself I have been inspired to read more, not only poems but books also. I bought her two books and read them both that night; they kept me up the whole night. What I loved about her poems is that she was speaking like no one was listening, therefore she could say whatever she wanted. She didn’t hold anything back.

When Nina, the author who performed at our class came, I learned that sometimes we take the people around us for granted, and this is horrible because we lose the chance to meet someone fascinating.

I never took the time to read a lot. I was especially uninterested in poetry. But then a poet came to our class to share her poems. Her words were very brave and honest and touched me deeply and really gave me that common ground the professor talks about. I could relate to her poems in a way that forever changes the way I think about literature and poetry. She inspired me to read more poetry and even write poetry. I will remember her forever.
