Check out my interview focusing on my new novel, The Bridge on Beer River, airing today (Tuesday, 7/25/23) on The Authors Show. I really enjoyed the interview and I’m honored to appear on the program.

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/
