Ramona, the Poet

For me, poetry is both a calling and a craft—a way of seeing the world with greater depth, compassion, and imagination. As a poet, author and educator, I have spent years guiding others through the intricate art of poetic expression, helping students not only understand the mechanics of verse but also discover their own unique voices. My experiences & background with poetry has helped students prepare for poetry questions on state assessments.

"From Pain to Poetry" is a poignant collection that invites readers on a transformative journey through the complexities of human experience. Each poem serves as a window into the myriad emotions and challenges we face in life, from the struggles of leadership and the facade of appearances to the deep, sometimes painful, connections we forge with others.​
