I’m giddy-thrilled to have just sent in my comments on the latest round of proofs for my second book of poetry, If We Had a Lemon We’d Throw It and Call That the Sun, winner of the 2019 Antivenom Poetry Award from Elixir Press. It’s really starting to feel real. I can almost touch it!
On this warm September Monday, after three nights of frosts, I thought I’d share this video I made in June of me reading two poems (“It’s Something People in Love Do” and “Our Beautiful Life When It’s Filled with Shrieks”) from my forthcoming book, If We Had a Lemon We’d Throw It and Call That the Sun. Pandemic beard in evidence.
I just uploaded this video to my YouTube page. The squirrels seem to be hectically preparing for the coming cold.
In case you missed this weekend’s radio broadcasts, you can now stream my interview on The Campbell Conversations on WRVO by Grant Reeher, Director of the Campbell Public Affairs Institute at Syracuse University. I discuss my poetic practice, contemporary poetry…I read from my lyric essay “Each Breeze Began Life Somewhere As a Little Cough” and from my second poetry book, “If We Had a Lemon We’d Throw It and Call That the Sun,” which just won Elixir Press’ 2019 Antivenom Poetry Award and will be published there next year. You can stream the show HERE, and thanks for listening!
