I had the great privilege of performing a set of my new poems yesterday at Jonathan S. Baker’s POETRY SPEAKS reading series at Bokeh Lounge in Evansville, Indiana. Jonathan & Arizona are the best & their reading series is so much fun. Bree, the other featured poet, is an amazingly creative force & I was delighted to share the stage with her again. The open mic portion was fire—but I didn’t record it.

Most of my set consisted of all new, unpublished poems, with the exception of the first poem, “a morning in montpelier,” which was published recently in Home Planet News. I made a limited edition chapbook of the poem (only 12 exist) & some of them found homes after the reading. I still have a few left so hit me up if you want one ($5 in-person; $10 if shipped—US only).
