Wonderful reading for the Seneca Review last night on Seneca Lake!

Last night’s Seneca Review reading, for contributors, editors, and staff, was AMAZING! So much awesome writing and wonderful readers! Just a joy and an inspiration to be a part of it! And the venue, Two Goats Brewing on the picturesque shores of Seneca Lake, was breathtaking. A dynamite view for a reading, under a rising saffron moon.

Two weeks after teaching poetry at the Ionion Center for the Arts and Culture on Kefalonia, Greece, I taught my 13th year at the Martha’s Vineyard Institute for Creative Writing: prose poetry & flash fiction, the lyric essay, and literary publishing…plus a writers life panel and my poetry reading. I’m a very fulfilled poet and teacher this summer! On top of that I have one more writing conference to teach at: the awesome Kettle Pond Writers’ Conference at Paul Smith’s College in the Adirondacks!
