Cleaver Issue 49 Contributors Reading

To make up for missing the issue 48 Contributors Reading because I was sick, Cleaver has kindly asked me to read for their issue 49 Contributors Reading.

Baldwin, Brian Benson, Andrea Bishop, Lisa K. Buchanan, John Calderazzo, Jocelyn Jane Cox, Adam Doniger, Jeff Friedman, Vicki Mayk, Ess Pokornowski, Rachel Talbot, Matt Thomas, Gretta Trafficante, and Robyn Wheelock.

Reading at CANO’s Writers Salon

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).

“2022.11,” “2023.01,” “2023.11,” “2023.12,” “2023.13,” and “2023.14” in Pamenar Online Magazine

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.

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’ll also be reading from 2013–2017: Sonnets on Wednesday, September 25 for Hartwick College’s Visiting Writers Series.
