First publication of 2025! The Hudson Valley Writers Guilt has accepted four of my poems, currently on view at their website. The poems include “The Ocean’s Graveyard,” “Morris Street #1,” “Single Family Ranch,” and “Blink with Fire.” Some of these poems are included in a collection I’m shopping around about my grandmother Wanda, my grandmother from Texas. HVWG is an amazing website that both publishes new poetry, fiction, essays, and more from people all over the world but also includes information about poetry and writing events in the Albany and Hudson Valley regions in New York state. Definitely check them out at this link!
Live at the Linda, December 2021
I had the pleasure and honor to join a bunch of fantastic poets at The Linda in Albany, NY last December to celebrate the end of another year of local poetry, and the recorded the session for WAMC, the area’s NPR affiliate, which you can listen to here. Albany Poets and the Hudson Valley Writers Guild have a great relationship with The Linda and they’re slowly releasing each poet’s performance as we near the end of 2022. Mine was posted in September. I haven’t listened yet (like most folks, the sound of my own voice makes me cringe a bit) but it was a fantastic night and I’m really proud of the poems I read, including a few that will appear in an upcoming book of mine (called Both Ways Home) that should drop before the holidays. Enjoy!
