"Marie provided poetry workshops to juvenile first-offenders referred through the State Attorney's Office. Her engaging, therapeutic sessions helped the youth gain insight and redefine their concept of self." - Claudia Calabrese, LCSW

"Broward County's Main Library hired Marie Whitman and Eat Your Poem to do a poetry workshop for teens. Marie connected with the teens which allowed everyone to feel comfortable and creativity flowed. I hope to have the opportunity to work with Marie again; she captivates her audience as an educator and artist.

"Ms. Whitman inspired the girls to express themselves through writing and get in touch with emotions. When Marie performed her own poetry, many commented that it “sounded like a song."
The New D.A.Y. program has benefited tremendously from collaborating her." - Jasset Tharp, MS, Team Leader,
