Cloeren is the founder and creative director of Puppets a la Carte where she uses puppets to feed the imagination.  Emphasizing play and techniques of improvisation, she creates a space of surprise and wonder in which we all learn from one another through puppetry arts. Nicole is a Teaching Artist with the McCallum Theatre. She likes to pretend her PhD stands for doctor of puppet handling. When not talking with her hands – or to her hands – Nicole enjoys eating jicama, playing dice, camping, and spending time with her family.

    Thirty Days Until Done for National Poetry Month

    Calling all poets! This is one boot camp you won’t want to miss. Following the method created in John Brantingham’s website, students will write a poem a day for the month of April. At the end of that month, they will have thirty individual poems that together will form a unified chapbook collection. The classes will generate new work, workshop existing poems, and develop new techniques and skills. (Meets weekly.)

    John Brantingham was Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks’ first poet laureate. His work has been featured in hundreds of magazines, Writers Almanac and The Best Small Fictions 2016 and 2022. He has nineteen books of poetry and fiction including Life: Orange to Pear (Bamboo Dart Press). He is the founder and general editor of The Journal of Radical Wonder. He lives in Jamestown, NY.
