ABOUT
We all contain visions.
We bring these visions into reality through collaboration, helping community members connect with and redistribute resources and revision futures where we collectively thrive.
We co-create ecological gardens and creative ecological programming.
Through collaboration, we create dynamic offerings serving our shared communities.
MEET CASS
As a poet, I love landscaping for the names of the plants on my tongue as I learn about them: Sphaeralcea coccinea, or Scarlet Globemallow (colloquially known as Cowboy’s Delight though Indigenous people took delight in them long before that archetype entered the scene).
I’m here for the dirt. For the furred sickles of blue gramma catching the golden glow, the smell of Agastache rupestris. For the presence I experience in my body. For the space this makes possible for us all.
As an educator, I facillitate spaces for creative practice, skill sharing, and redistributing resources.
With a background in higher education (PhD in English and Literary Arts, University of Denver; MFA in Poetry, Colorado State University) and fifteen years of experience teaching in both academic and community-based settings, I’m committed to community-based education. I’m also the creator of Vocational Poetics, which is in the process of becoming a co-op for working artists.

I can be found in the Denver metro area playing in the dirt, making art, cooking and sharing food, and exploring the wild edges with my dog Jupiter.
