If you would like to invite Aimee for a teaching or speaking engagement, please contact Ms. Anya Blacklund, President at Blue Flower Arts Literary Agency directly.
“Aimee Nezhukumatathil was everything we’d hoped she be and more: an excellent poet. An engaging reader. An accomplished teacher… All three of her books were accessible enough on the one hand and challenging and mysterious enough on the other to make them ideal texts for study in the classroom…Charming, funny and spirited, Aimee made talking about poetry a cool thing to do, and because she’s such a vibrant, outgoing person, she managed to get a lot of different kinds of students talking about poetry. Of all the poets we’ve had come to Westminster over the past 13 years, Aimee was one of the best at conducting classes.” –Michael Cervas, English Department Chair of Westminster Prep School, Simsbury, CT
