Offering more than 100 poets’ work from which his audience can select, Wooten recites in jukebox fashion their requests–whether the audience is 5 or 50. Like a living anthology, his repertoire includes poems by many well-known poets, as well as his own poetry and stories, rich in humor and lore. As a two-time recipient of Michigan Creative Artist Awards, it is said that “Wooten’s talent to entertain, motivate, and excite our students with poetry inspires them to use their own artistic abilities in new and creative ways.” Wooten has conducted writing workshops and enchanted his audiences in k–12 schools, colleges, libraries, conferences, and festivals from coast to coast for the past 23 years.
