we just returned from a family vacation/ poetry reading in georgia–it has been so long since i’ve read, but there’s something about reading poetry to a crowd that makes me forget i’m an introvert! it was a blessing to my family to visit with old friends and a blessing to me to be able to share what i love with others.
also, i have a few new poems up in the Chimes literary magazine, from Shorter University–you can read them here: Sod, Catching Places, and En Pointe in the Living Room
