Teacher, Pizza Guy

Jeff Kass is a 23-year teaching veteran of Pioneer High School. His book, Teacher/Pizza Guy chronicles Kass’s experiences working as a full-time English teacher, a part-time teen literary arts director, and a part-time pizza delivery driver during the 2016-17 school year. The book travels back and forth between Kass’ experiences in the classroom and the pizza shop. His poetry addresses some of the challenges and crazy events that happen in school and service industry jobs, aging, and his relationships with his colleagues at both jobs and his students. The book, published by Wayne State University Press, has been selected by the Library of Michigan as one of 20 Michigan Notable Books for 2020.https://www.wsupress.wayne.edu/books/detail/teacherpizza-guyAll Write in Sin City Short: https://youtu.be/Y1MLspffW5g
