I'm back on the road this fall, in service of my new book release - Motherlode - my first new poetry book since 2018. I feel a little out of touch with poetry folks! The book is about mother-daughter relationships, dementia/Alzheimer's, what it's like to manage another person's affairs (sometimes against her will). I'm certainly interested in reaching audiences who care about these things too (and maybe don't know they'd like poetry).

I'm planning to be in Chicago, Atlanta, San Diego, Portland OR, Seattle, and Vancouver BC. Some of the venues are booked, but I still need partners in these places. Are you in one of these spots and can help? Do you want me elsewhere?

And of course, if you can recommend me for fall festivals or conferences, I'd love that too. Get in touch for the press kit, if that's useful to you.
