Because I am the 2022–25 Cora A. Babcock Chair in English, I again have a course release this spring. As such, I’ll only be teaching one class this semester, but I’m super excited to teach ENGL 412 Advanced Poetry Workshop again, one of my favorite classes to teach at Hartwick College.
UPDATE: I’m recovering from a nasty flu and won’t be able to make the reading tonight.
On Sunday, February 2 from 7:00–8:30 p.m. (EST) via Zoom, I’ll be reading “2023.32,” recently published in issue 48 of Cleaver, along with other contributors to the issue: David Lydon-Staley, Christopher David Rosales, Tracie Adams, Sinclair Cabocel, Eden Royce, Connor Fisher, Jeff Gabel, Coleman Bigelow, Jeffrey G. Moss, Krista Puttler, Herman Beavers, and Kiely Todd Roska.
You can register for the reading here: https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/mSovtLTCRmmjkSMqEZkqFg#/registration.
Delighted to have “2023.26,” “2023.27,” and “2023.28” from my ongoing sonnet sequence in the third issue of Magazine1.
I was so busy this fall semester that I forgot to post syllabi for my classes! Here they are. I’m particularly proud of the work my students did in my department’s senior seminar for this year: ENGL 470 Mark Z. Danielewski’s The Familiar.
ENGL 213 Introduction to Creative Writing
Thanks so much to Cleaver for publishing another sonnet from my ongoing sequence, “2023.32,” in their forty-eighth issue.
I recently published a book, 2013–2017: Sonnets (LJMcD Communications, 2024), the first in an ongoing sonnet sequence. I have written the next book in the sequence, 2018–2024: Sonnets, and I’ve started the third, 2024–20XX: Sonnets, and I will be reading poems from these two most recent projects at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, November 21, 2024 at the Community Arts Network of Oneonta (CANO)’s Writers Salon at the Wilber Mansion on 11 Ford Ave. I promise a poem about the election (writing it right now).
Thanks so much to Broken Lens Journal for publishing some new sonnets in their ninth issue: “2023.21,” “2023.22/24,” and “2023.25.”
If you’re in Oneonta and want to hear some more poems from the manuscript these come from, stop by CANO’s Writers Salon on November 21.
I am thrilled to have poems in Pamenar Online Magazine again! Check out: “2022.11,” “2023.01,” “2023.11,” “2023.12,” “2023.13,” and “2023.14.” Thanks to Ghazal Mosadeq for her support and the amazing journal and press she and her team have put together.
