Since I can't, please register for this event where Dorianne Laux will read my poem, 'In Your Father's Garden,' which she chose for the 2024 Marvin Bell Poetry Prize. It will be at 1 am here in France, and I just can't manage that with my newly discovered autoimmune disease.

I am so pleased to have these three poems in Tabi Po! Poetry. They're part of a longer series that I wrote during a residency at the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. tabipopoetry.com/spring-2024/su…

Thanks to Gyroscope Review! Happy Poetry Month, everyone!
I had a cat like this-Dilly, part Russian Blue, and the sweetest and most long-lived cat I've lived with. Circe, my current 'assistant,' is a Bengal, and is sitting next to me, making sure I say the right things about her.

I really enjoyed Philip Metres' inventiveness in the new collection I reviewed here, and was delighted to hear him read recently for Traveling Mollys Reading Series and Open Mic. rhinopoetry.org/reviews/philip…
