Poetry reading tonight in Connecticut

If you're around and about Norwalk, Ct tonight (a great small coastal city I was fortunate enough to live in some twenty years ago), I will be reading with the poet, Sally Bliumis-Dunn at the Norwalk Public Library from 7:00-8:30 pm. Thanks to Norwalk's very own Poet Laureate, Laurel Peterson, for hosting a series of poets in conversation. Come and welcome the new year with poetry!

"You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me."

A favorite illustrator

Out of print treasures such as this lovely - Blueberries Lavender by Nancy Dingman Watson and illustrated by a favorite artist, Erik Blegvad. Some charming poetry and as gorgeous line art.

 

New poem up

My poem, Come What May, is now up at the wonderful Woman Around Town.

They have published three other poems of mine previously and I'm always so pleased to be represented there. 

New poems

In the second issue of the journal that draws its name from the beautiful Hudson River, I am so pleased to have two new poems out in River, River. 

A new poem out for your reading pleasure :)

I am liking using these photos from Cape Cod (our August vacation) to illustrate writing work that is out.  I meant to have a lot of great posts from Cape Cod but have been falling behind blog posts, getting photos out of cameras, and quite a lot besides that.  Not the most organized time for me, summer.  Hopefully the more interior life of winter will allow me to get my assorted houses (literary, emotional, spiritual, and actual very messy one) in order.
Meanwhile, a good thing - a new poem out on the great new site I only recently discovered, Woman Around Town. My poem, The Botanical Gardens Gift Shop, is available to read here.  I hope you enjoy it and - as ever - thoughts on any work is always appreciated.
