Me reading “Like a River Stood on End” on my YouTube page

I just uploaded to my YouTube page a short video I made in June 2021 of me reading my poem “Like a River Stood on End,” which was first published in Cherry Tree issue 7. I hope you enjoy it.

You can read the text of the poem HERE.

And yes, an owl really did attack my head while walking in the woods. Twice. I chose to take it as a compliment.


Gone and made a YouTube page.

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!
