B.J. Buckley

B.J. Buckley is a poet and writer with over 30 years of experience in Artist-In-Schools programs throughout the Dakotas and the West.

She encourages teachers to be active partners and collaborators in all residency activities. Buckley incorporates other art forms such as bookmaking, origami, illustration, and oral performance into her residencies, and makes an effort to introduce her students to the best work of writers in their region and across other cultures. All her activities support core curriculum in Language Arts. She has extensive experience working with Native American students, ESL and special needs students, and senior citizens. She is currently Poet/Writer in Residence at Sanford Cancer Center, Sioux Falls. Her poetry has won numerous awards and is widely published in text and on-line journals.
