Rosie the Riveter comes to Redlands

August 15, 2014

I’m thrilled to be reading in Redlands on Aug 22. It’ll be fun to be back in my old home town. Over 30 years I lived there. I’d be thrilled to see some of my friends from that area. Dying to see who turns up. It’s a group reading, but Maureen Alsop and I will be reading the longest. Friday, Aug 22, 5-7 pm, at Greater Good Coffee, 300 E. State St., Redlands, CA.


The online publication, Barely South, has my poem Packing My Grandmother’s Suitcase. I wrote it one day when I was thinking about her and all the things she loved. You can read it on page 42 at http://issuu.com/barelysouth/docs/bar...

The Wisconsin Review has accepted my poem, Since My Father Died, My Mother and I Often Discuss the Best Way for Her to Kill Herself. It’s a print publication.

And last, but not least, Splitting the Genre: An Intersection of Poetry and Art is a beautiful little book by Six Arrow Press. I’m pleased to have four of my pieces included. My MFA is in Painting, I spent many years as an exhibiting artist, and teaching art at the college level. In these hybrid pieces I combine my two loves, poetry and art. The idea is built on the poetry of “erasure,” eliminating words from a piece of prose to expose the poem within. There’s also a nice interview.

You can see the entire book online here: http://www.blurb.com/books/5377678-sp... My stuff is on pages 13-21.
