Past Events

In April 2008, I was a reader and workshop facilitator at Burning Word: The Festival of Poetic Fire on Whidbey Island. The workshop, "Writing Alongside William Blake," explored Blake's visual art and poems of innocence and experience to help guide our own writing. We discussed how the worlds of innocence and experience are, at heart, interdependent, with imagery shuttling back and forth to create a fully-dimensioned representation of the human soul.

I recently had the pleasure of reading at the Bowery Poetry Club in New York City and at the University of New Hampshire, my alma mater. The UNH website did a nice feature on me, though they couldn't decide which way to spell my last name.

In Seattle I read from from my Hamlet poems in the Apostrophe Series at Gallery 1412. Later, I presented next door at Tougo Coffee House in a new series called Free Range Words. In January 2008, I gave a joint reading with Lana Ayers at Powell's Books on Hawthorne in Portland, Oregon.
