Roger Housden gives poetry performances in a variety of contexts, and also uses poetry for both keynote speeches and retreats on themes such as:

Wanting the Change
Passionate Engagement
Serving a Purpose Bigger Than You Are
Unfold Your Own Myth
Risking Delight: What Does it Take To Be Happy?

“I have never felt so moved by a keynote speech in my life. The echoes of what you gave us will remain with me for years to come.”

- Marybeth Fischer
Founder and Director, Delaware Writer’s Conference

“The resonance of Housden’s essays, like that of the very personal selection of poems, ripples deep into the reader’s consciousness… It’s good to be reminded that poems teach us in ways that pass other forms of understanding.”

- Los Angeles Times
on Ten Poems to Change Your Life

“Housden’s book provides the key to life’s best kept secret garden, a place the reader can receive refuge and sustenance for the rest of her life.”
