About Joe Larke

Quality Time in Rhythm and Rhyme

JOE LARKE is not your ordinary author. He was a slow reader in school and did poorly on exams. Reading was NOT a priority for him. He read many poems he never understood. What a bore, he thought. Now Joe writes his own poetry and his desire is to provide encouragement for others who may be interested in writing but have no idea how to get started.

Joe's manual, A SIMPLE WAY TO WRITE FUN POEMS, is designed to help teachers share his love of writing poetry with their students. It demonstrates practical techniques that teachers, at any level, can employ to help students learn to write as well as develop an appreciation for it.

Joe is a Poet/Author, Speaker and Motivator who has published five books. His style of writing is so simple it puts joy into the writing process. The Joe Larke method of writing creates a level of interest in which reluctant readers find themselves reading more and enjoying it.

Joe's style of teaching will:

  • Enhance topic decisions
  • Aid in word selection
  • Stimulate artistic abilities
Joe says, writing allows for self-expression and an opportunity to be creative. Exercising the imagination is personal and unlimited. Creative thinking develops ideas while pretending puts them in motion.

Students will love Dopie Dope, Joe's favorite character, as many will be able to relate to a lot of his situations and misadventures.

Joe's other three poem books will definitely capture students attention and cause them to GRIN-A-BIT.
(Joe's company name).

So, here's your opportunity to open a child's world to the JOYS of poetry and the WONDERS of imagination, with Joe's delightful series of entertaining and educational books.
