It was an emotional, beautiful, brave and loving thing to witness.

Want to hear a fairy tale by someone whose undergraduate thesis in literary theory was on pagan archetypes in Eastern European folklore? Doesn't that sound like fun?! If not, I promise there will be a lot of brilliant poetry too... ;).

On Sun, March 19, 2023, 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM EDT, Tina Marie Johnson is hosting our next Midnight Glossolalia event! Sign up to attend. Come listen to Scott, Lillian and me read more selections from our new book from Meat for Tea Press. It will be very informal with each of us reading a piece, and giving time for questions and discussion in between. Hope to see some of you there.

I once had a lady approach me after a #PoetryReading to tell me she loved my #poem, though "it was a little corny." I didn't know how to tell her - or even if I should tell her - the poem was meant to come off as corny. Because it was a laundry list of my flaws disguised as a #LovePoem.

Next Wednesday, Feb. 22, 7:30-9:00pm US ET, Scott Ferry, Lillian Necakov and I will be the featured readers on Moore Poetry! We will be reading from our new poetry collection, Midnight Glossolalia (Meat for Tea Press). Open mic to follow. Check out the Moore Poetry FB page for more info about the show. Many thanks to Christopher Moore for hosting. #poetry #poetryreading #writingcommunity

If you're in or around Windsor on March 4, I hope you'll be able to attend the launch of my book Sunny Ways. I'll be reading alongside five other great writers and there'll be treats and books for sale. Sounds like heaven! #Poetry #PoetryReading

a moment of chaos
in a light so divine
& in that heartbeat
I saw forever in her eyes
& I became hers
& she became mine,
from this day forward
till the end of time
