Poet Tobey Kaplan has taught in the SF Bay Area for thirty years. An active member of California Poets in the Schools and AWP, I have given readings, workshops and presentations throughout the country on creative process, literacy and social change. Publications include many literary anthologies and Across the Great Divide, Androgyne, SF (1995). I teach at Chabot, Laney and Merritt Colleges and coordinates educational opportunities for Native American children and their parents. Always looking for the quirky but deep explorations and discoverings through the task of poetry.
