Video of a Zoom Reading by Sarah Ruhlen, Christopher Citro, and Steve Castro – March 5, 2023

Here’s a video of me, Christopher Citro, and Sarah Ruhlen and Steve Castro doing a living room Zoom reading from Sunday March 5, 2023. Sarah Ruhlen reads her short story “Shepherds Take Warning” first published in Waccamaw. I read poems from my second book, If We Had a Lemon We’d Throw It and Call That the Sun (Elixir Press, 2021), along with newer poems. And Steve Castro reads poems from his book Blue Whale Phenomena (Otis Books, 2019) along with newer poems. Hope you enjoy it!

Listen to me and Dustin read our poems in The Bear Review (with piano accompaniment)!

Howdy! Listen to me and Dustin Nightingale read our 3 collaborative prose poems in Bear Review with awesome improvised piano music by my partner Sarah! Thank you to the whole Bear Review crew for sharing this, and thank you especially to Marcus Myers for your generous words about our audio.
