Hello, all!
I’ll be reading poems from my new collection Elegies & Devotions at the Grolier Poetry Bookshop (6 Plympton Street, Harvard Square, Cambridge) on Wednesday, January 7, 2026 (just two weeks!) at 7 pm. I will be reading with Partridge Boswell and Benjamin Landry. Tom Daley will be introducing the poets. The event is hybrid. Sign-up for in-person spots (limited! and a small charge) or virtual attendance may be found at the Grolier website, here.
A few things!
Thanks for reading! Peace and light to all.
Walking Between the Raindrops can now be obtained from the publisher, and from other commercial outlets.
Readers, hello! My fourth collection, Walking Between the Raindrops, has been accepted by Kelsay Books. We anticipate publication on or before March 1, 2025. Yay!
Last Saturday brought word from Kelsay Books that the manuscript of my third collection, Swift River Ballad, containing twenty-three poems, has been accepted for publication toward the end of this calendar year. I am supremely grateful for Kelsay Books and their continued hospitality to my work!
As of July 4, the edited manuscript for Longfellow, Tell Me has been submitted to Kelsay Books, along with blurbs and photographs; so, the ball is rolling! The process from this point until publication date generally takes at least two months. So stay tuned!
On Friday last, I learned that Kelsay Books has accepted my second collection for publication! The book is called LONGFELLOW, TELL ME, and contains 41 poems, some quite old and some of recent provenance. Yay! I am so grateful to Kelsay Books for their continued hospitality to my work. (No publication date has been given yet, but I anticipate it will be sometime in early 2023.)
