I offer poetry commissioning services in which I collaborate with an individual, family, organization, or community group to create an original, one-of-a-kind poem written specifically for a person, moment, mission, or event.
Each commission is crafted through a guided intake process that gathers story, tone, key details, and intended audience, resulting in a poem that is both artistically strong and deeply personal.
