"Brod Bagert’s performance mesmerized students and faculty alike. One of our kindergarten teachers used her planning time to come back and enjoy the upper grades assembly. The local newspaper’s photographer told me that Brod was the best he had ever seen."
Mary Hatcher / Media Specialist

"Wow! Brod was unbelievable! Students and staff have been raving about his hilarious performances and the fact that out of all the authors we’ve had, they felt Brod was the best!"
Lori Belair / Librarian

"I admire his enthusiasm and dedication to poetry. I thought his presentation was extremely beneficial to us as future teachers because it showed us how fun poetry can be."
Sheena Dicob / Student Teacher

"I enjoyed the energy he brought to his presentation and how passionate he felt about it. The part I liked the most was how he knew many of his poems. This showed how dedicated to his work he is and also gave us a good sense of who he was as a poet and a performer."
Kerri Miller / Student Teacher

"We LOVED Brod’s performance today. We have 150 kids in our after-school programs. As they got picked up, they were telling their parents – quite animatedly – all about his show! His visit touched the lives of 500 children and our faculty."
Mary Jo Costello / Principal

"Brod’s presentation at Bowling Green State University’s Literacy in the Park was an amazing and unique opportunity for my family. My sons, ages 5 and 3, were engaged during his entire poetry presentation."
Lena Ballone Duran, Ph.D.

"Brod’s program captured everyone’s attention and after an hour, even our youngest Kindergarten children didn’t want to say goodbye. His inspiring program prompted children to return to classrooms and insist on writing poetry. When asked if they enjoyed Brod’s visit, all responses were cheers. He is a dynamic author that every child should experience, at least once."
