Gone and made a YouTube page.

Posted on by

Having recently received a few gracious invitations to make videos — public things like poetry readings being on hold — I’ve made a YouTube page to keep them. There’s one there now, the video I made for the Best Microfiction 2020 book launch last week. I’ve also put up a few of the little video-lets of moments that I like to make. Lily pads in the sun, a fox…in the sun, rain on ivy, dew in a spider’s web, Montreal icicles, a Kansas windmill, airborne cottonwood fluff — that sort of thing. Have a visit!

I’m thrilled to receive my contributor copy of the new Zone 3, which contains my poem “On Our Mountain Made of Crushed Mountains.” Thank you so much Andrea Spofford, Stephanie Dugger, Aubrey Collins, and the rest of the Zone 3 team. It’s a delight to clasp this beautiful issue in my hands. Plus there’s a short story by my MFA teacher Maura Stanton! Plus the cover is like a sun! (Painted by Khari Turner.)

I’m delighted to announce that I’m returning to Martha’s Vineyard at the end of this month! I’ll be teaching a 2-hour writing class on the Hermit Crab Essay and then giving a poetry reading at the Oak Bluffs Public Library on Feb 29. It’s all completely free and open to the public. Dag! This event is part of the Martha’s Vineyard Institute of Creative Writing’s Year-Round Writers Series. I did it last year, too, and we had a great time. If you’re in the area, please come on by!
