While I was on Martha’s Vineyard teaching this week, WPBS television in Central New York featured me reading my poem “You Can Keep Your Employee of the Month Award.” And the video is up on YouTube. Thank you WPBS! This poem is from my second book, If We Had a Lemon We’d Throw It and Call That the Sun (Elixir Press, 2021)

I read my poem “Our Beautiful Life When It’s Filled with Shrieks” on WPBS on Tuesday!
“I love you. I want us both to eat well.” 😀
Here’s the video of me reading my poem “Our Beautiful Life When It’s Filled with Shrieks” which was broadcast 2 days ago on WPBS Weekly: Inside the Stories. I hope you enjoy it!

Oh my goodness!!! Thank you Esteban Rodríguez & Tupelo Quarterly for this luminous review of my book If We Had a Lemon We’d Throw It and Call That the Sun.

My book is reviewed in the new Asheville Poetry Review!
Huge THANK YOU to David Ebenbach for this generous review of my book, If We Had a Lemon We’d Throw It and Call That the Sun, in the new Asheville Poetry Review, together with Matthew Lippman’s new book, Mesmerizingly Sadly Beautiful, a poet whose work I deeply adore, to put it lightly. How awesome to be reviewed together!
“These books, in their flights from the personal to the ceiling of the universe and back again, truck in classic themes of love and purpose, and yet they do it in a way that finds readers where they are in the peculiarity of the moment. Citro and Lippman are two voices we really need right now.”
