Anndee Hochman writer & teacher



Thank you, as always, for bringing poetry to our classrooms! You always do such an awesome job of engaging the 3rd-graders...Watching you teach always reminds me to slow down and to be a better listener with my students.

This was my third Soapstone story session with Anndee. It was as rich, varied and stimulating as previous sessions. I love how Anndee generates respectful, high-participation discussions.

The honesty and intensity of your stories, your realistically positive energy, and the writing exercises and discussions will help put wind under my wings as I tackle the second half of my memoir.

I enjoyed hearing from others and seeing ways of approaching memoir from different perspectives. And your feedback was wonderful: very specific, insightful and encouraging.

Poetry matters because without poetry we would not be having any music in this world.
