From 1979 to 2004, he taught poetry all around the state via the Ohio Arts Council's Artists in Education program, teaching students from kindergarten through high school, as well as senior citizens and other adults. For five summers he was on the faculty of the Antioch Writers Workshop; and he taught in the first five years of the Ohio Arts Council's Experience of Writing summer workshops for teachers, coediting (with Bob Fox) the anthology that grew out of those years, Teaching Writing from a Writer's Point of View. Additionally, he was on the faculty of the OAC's Summer Media Institute from 1998-2003. He has taught poetry in the galleries of various museums throughout the state, including the Allen Art Museum in Oberlin, the Toledo Museum of Art, and the Cleveland Museum of Art; and for seven years he was a guest poet with the Columbus Museum of Art's DepARTures program, guiding fifth graders from around the city on poetry-writing tours of the museum. His most recent book of poems is The River's Daughter (2008) from Bottom Dog Press.
