Since 2011, Ann has been one of two writers in residence at Seattle Children’s Hospital through Seattle Arts and Lectures’ Writers in the Schools program. Here, she works with the hospital Education Department, leading weekly poetry circles in the school and the inpatient psychiatric unit classrooms, with youth ages six to eighteen, and one-on-one with students on the cancer, rehab, and dialysis units. Student work is showcased in anthologies produced by the hospital, as well as Writers in the Schools. Work is also made into Letterpress Broadsides called Words of Courage, through partnerships with Partners in Print, Seattle Children’s Hospital, and Seattle Arts and Lectures.

Words of Courage
Words of Courage is an annual letterpress broadside project of poems written by young writers at Seattle Children’s hospital, where I have been a resident writer with writer Sierra Nelson since 2011. Words of Courage is a collaboration between Partners in Print, Seattle Children’s, and Seattle Arts and Lectures.
Pongo Poetry Project
Since 2000, Ann has worked with the Pongo Poetry Project, a Seattle nonprofit that invites youth to tell their stories through poetry, through a trauma-informed model. She has led poetry circles, weekly, with youth in Seattle’s King County Juvenile Detention (now, the Patricia H. Clark Children and Family Justice Center); and weekly, at Child Study Treatment Center— the state psychiatric hospital for youth in Lakewood, Washington.
