Show Us Your Papers Poetry Anthology

On the day that I received my driver’s license renewal I’ve also received my contributor copy of this beautiful new anthology, Show Us Your Papers, edited by Daniela Buccilli, Wendy Scott Paff, and Cherise Pollard, from Main Street Rag Publishing! It’s a thrill to have my poems “It’s Something People in Love Do” and “Sick of Sick” appear alongside work of so many poets I admire and read with joy!

 

Me Reading “It’s Something People in Love Do” and “Our Beautiful Life When It’s Filled with Shrieks”

On this warm September Monday, after three nights of frosts, I thought I’d share this video I made in June of me reading two poems (“It’s Something People in Love Do” and “Our Beautiful Life When It’s Filled with Shrieks”) from my forthcoming book, If We Had a Lemon We’d Throw It and Call That the Sun. Pandemic beard in evidence.

I just uploaded this video to my YouTube page. The squirrels seem to be hectically preparing for the coming cold.

“It’s Something People in Love Do” Published in A Constellation of Kisses

What a delight to have my poem “It’s Something People in Love Do” appear in A Constellation of Kisses, the new anthology from Terrapin Books. Thank you so much to editor Diane Lockward. 100 poems about kissing, written by the likes of Kim Addonizio, Denise Duhamel, Jeffrey Harrison, Allison Joseph, David Kirby, Dorianne Laux…just to name just a very few. Yes please!
