Save the date! I can’t wait to read with Elizabeth Jacobson at Books & Books and support her beautiful new collection of poetry. Come hear her lovely, lyrical new work! Plus some of my favorite poems about mango farming and a few tidbits from my forthcoming two books. 🪸🐠🐋🐙🥭

Are you good at the writing but not so great at finding homes for your creative work? Do guidelines baffle you? Is keeping track of your submissions getting you down? Join me for a comprehensive discussion on best practices —and an AMA session at the end. Link: buy.stripe.com/eVacNXb2R6mm...

What a pleasure to reconnect with one of my first—and best—poetry professors, Marie Howe, at the Miami Book Fair. Taking her workshops and seminars at Tufts changed my life. I was thrilled to see her again after so many years. My poetic existence is due to her. 📖📝🎤
