I’m thrilled to be reading in the Blue Light at the Gallery series hosted by the amazing poet Diane Frank!

In addition to a few poems from Why Trees Stay Outside, I plan to read a few new poems for the first time.

Joining me will be a stellar lineup of Sandra Anfang, William Greenwood, and David Oliveira.

The show starts on zoom at 6pm PDT (9pm EDT) Friday 9/5/25. RSVP by emailing Diane at bluelightpress@aol.com to get the link.

You can find more about Why Trees Stay Outside and my other work on my home page at https://www.terrytierney.com

Here’s the Unsolicited Press table at the Bay Area Book Festival on Sunday. So inspiring to hang out with brilliant authors and see the other exhibits as well as some stellar events. Pictured are Kerry Donoghue, Patricia Q. Bidar, and LeeAnn Pickrell. Other UP authors on hand were Paul Justison and Sommer Schafer. I also saw several friends from the SF Writers Grotto and made new friends. Such fun, I love the BABF!

Check out the left end of the table. It’s always such a thrill to see my books in the wild. 🙂
