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!
Howdy! Here’s a video of me and Steve Castro reading our poems for last Sunday’s Poetry + Play event at Syracuse Stage. Steve reads his poems in Spanish and I read his English translations of them. Then I read my poems in English and Steve reads his original translations of them into Spanish. This event was part of an afternoon of poetry in English and Spanish before the final performance of Espejos: Clean, a play by Christine Quintana performed at Syracuse Stage in Syracuse, New York on March 5, 2023.
