C.J.S. also holds Structured Conversation With Poetry® evenings in the Berkeley area, and can tailor this format to create thoughtful, meaningful Good Times according to the needs of his clients and their people.

As an Independent Consulting Historian of Poetry; Tutor and Coach for Chaucer, Milton, Spenser, and The Poets of Shakespeare&#39;s Day; as well as the works of Wm. Shakespeare himself, Mr. Schwartz insists that:

&#34;If the English Language is your mother tongue, then The History of Poetry in English is your Birthright — Don&#39;t Grow Up Without It!

&#34;And if English is your Second Language, then The History of Poetry in English is your dessert/reward for all your work in acquiring this infamously exasperating tongue!&#34;

C.J.S. prevents catastrophic confusion and dismay through &#34;Rescue For English Majors: First Responder for All Poetry Prior to 1950®.&#34;  He is available for private &amp; small group tutoring.
