Please join me for a solo poetry reading. Thanks to CallingAllPoets.net for inviting me. See you Thursday, 1/16/25 @ 7pm? (Zoom link on my website's News page.)
I'm not sure which new poems I'm reading yet, but I know this...if you're there and wearing a fleece onesie, I'll ship you a free book.
Two starter packs of mostly poets & poet-adjacent people and journals to follow. Remember that any starter pack is just that: a place to start. Won't include everyone. Seek out your people.
