Reading with Grotto Poets at Book Passage SF

I was honored to read at the open mic behind sterling poets Jenny Qi (organizer), Shikha Malaviya, Maw Shein Win, Heather Bourbeau, and Laird Harrison. Earthy poems for Earth Day at the SF Ferry Building, such a beautiful location.

It might look like I’m crooning, but I’m actually reciting this poem: https://rustandmoth.com/work/why-trees-stay-outside/

Thank you, Laird for the photo.

Reading at AWP23 with Unsolicited Press

I was honored to read with 30 Unsolicited Press authors on the AWP Bookfair Stage in Seattle. What a blast.

We each only had time for one poem or a short passage of fiction, and all the authors left the audience wanting more. Looking forward to doing it again next year!

Here is a brief video of me reading “The Poet’s Garage”, the title poem from my poetry collection.
