Author, Writer, Poet
I thoroughly enjoyed my conversation with Ashley McMullen, physician, and board member of The Bellevue Literary Review. Here is a link to the BLR benefit, “Narrative Arc: The Journey from Writer to Reader,” which includes our discussion of my poem, “The James Webb Telescope Detects a Heartbeat.” Ashley and I join at 17:30, but I recommend you watch the entire uplifting broadcast.

As cool as this collection is, its arrival is bittersweet because it will be the last publication from the beloved Nomadic Press. Be sure to check it out.
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.
