"When the doors of perception are cleansed,
man will see things as they truly are, infinite."

--William Blake

Readings & Workshops

“His witty and insightful comments on poems ranging from Dylan Thomas to Japanese haiku made his reading particularly enjoyable. Mr. Haight recited many poems, including his own, using only his prodigious memory. Such an enjoyable evening deserves an encore…” --Marcellus News

Robert Haight is available for readings and/or workshops in writing poetry or prose.

Poetry Workshops for Students

Poetry presentations for elementary students: Everyone has poems lurking inside. Everyone has imagination. This workshop brings poetry to young students in a non-threatening, fun way. A sure-fire way to unleash the imagination and antidote against standardized testing.

Poetry presentations for high school students: How can students give words to what they feel? How can they make what they have to say matter? Has anyone else ever felt this way before? The world of poetry answers those questions and offers liberation to students asking the larger questions so often ignored by the educational system.

Poetry Workshop for Adults

Poetry workshops for adults: Polishing pieces, bringing poems to their potential, publishing. A workshop to answer questions of adults who are just getting started or seriously pursuing the practice of poetry, particularly geared toward writing groups.

Workshops for Teachers

Writing workshops for teachers: How should teachers approach writing with their students? How can students become better writers? Is there a formula for it that can be tested by the MEAP? Half-day workshops for K-12 or college-level teachers that will motivate and inform.

Dancing the Tightrope: a workshop for teachers: How can teachers maintain balance in the classroom and in their lives? Are there enough hours in the day to get all the work done? A workshop concentrating on methods to keep your class calm, your mind focused, and your life a little more stress-free. Half-day workshop for K-12 or college-level teachers.
