My poems are being translated!
My friend, the poet Steve Castro, is translating some poems from my second book for a dual Spanish/English reading we’re going to be doing together next year at Syracuse Stage (more on that later!), and I find myself very touched, filled with a warm gratitude that several states away a wonderful poet is turning my little poems into another language, one which sadly I have no facility in. And such an awesome poet as Steve Castro! Everyone should get his poetry book Blue Whale Phenomena published in 2019 by Otis Books!
My book’s been nominated for this year’s CNY Book Award for Poetry!
I’m delighted to share the news that my book, If We Had a Lemon We’d Throw It and Call That the Sun, has been nominated for this year’s CNY Book Award for poetry. Congrats to all the other nominees!
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.”

I’ve Been Video Interviewed!
Ever wanted a 1.5 hour interview of me lipping off in depth about composing and revising my poem “Our Beautiful Life When It’s Filled with Shrieks” from my book If We Had a Lemon We’d Throw It and Call That the Sun? Along with oodles of nitty-gritty poetry writing talk–daily practices, radical free-writing, quelling the inner critic, lineation, creating stanzas, titling? Along with a little Dog Day Afternoon and Goodfellas content? Well, you’re in luck. One just got posted today on YouTube by 1-Week Critique.
Huge thank you to Matthew Schmidt and the awesome gang at 1-Week Critique! This conversation was such a pleasure, and I’m thrilled to share it with you!
