ABOUT ME

My name is Joshua Seigal. I am a poet, author and performer who does a lot of work in schools. This blog showcases new poems, students' work, and other odds and ends. New blog posts appear under 'Blog Archive' on the right hand side.

I have several books published by Bloomsbury and other publishers. My most famous book is probably I Don't Like Poetry, which was published in 2016.
