I’m happy to be reading in Seattle and Minneapolis this fall. On Thursday, September 15 I will be reading with Kevin Minh Allen at the Courtyard Marriott in Seattle for the 15th Anniversary of the Asian Adult Adoptees of Washington Mini-Gathering (registration is required) at 7:00 p.m. Also, on Wednesday, November 9 I will be reading at The Loft in Minneapolis, Minnesota. I’m looking forward to both readings very much. In October (date to be determined) there will be a HOWL celebration that I’ve been asked to participate in—and last but not least, I am excited to have four poems in the forthcoming anthology, More Than Soil, More Than Sky: The Modesto Poets. On November 8, there will be a publication launch reading in Modesto, California.

American Library Association READ program poster series, Fresno
In Uncategorized on February 24, 2011 at 1:30 pm
Thank you to the Fresno County Library for inviting me to be part of the READ poster series, part of the American Library Association’s program to get people reading. I was one of several in Fresno to be featured–others included the police chief, news anchors, and city council members. They will be displaying the 8.5 x 11 posters at various library branches around the city. I hope you will continue to support your local, beautiful, and essential public libraries!
