I’m reading in person at Syracuse Stage March 5!

Posted on by

Central New York friends! I’m giving an in-person poetry reading this Sunday March 5 @ 12:30 at Syracuse Stage. I’ll be reading my poetry in English and Steve Castro will read his original translations of them in Spanish! Steve will be reading his original poetry in Spanish and English. Plus there are other readers in this jam packed afternoon of poetry in English and Spanish! The reading is free and open to the public.

This event occurs prior to the matinee performance of the play Espejos: Clean, but you do not have to have a ticket to the play right in order to attend the poetry reading. You can come for just the reading…or enjoy the reading and get tickets to the play! Yes yes!

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!

Steve Castro’s Blue Whale Phenomena

Posted on by

My friend (and former student and fellow poetry editor at decomP) Steve Castro has just had his first poetry book published! It’s called Blue Whale Phenomena and it’s been beautifully designed by Otis Books/Seismicity Editions from Otis College of Art and Design. They’ve published tons of great books, including Forrest Gander’s Panic Cure: Poetry from Spain for the 21st Century. With a truly unique poetic voice and excitement and surprises that unsettle and delight on every page, this book is one to take with you into the forest.

You can snag a copy from SPD or Amazon.
