Reading at the Hollywood Library

I'll be reading Fighting Monsters at the Hollywood Library at 6:30 p.m., Tuesday, April 24th.

I've never read the full thing before: there are things in it I've never read in Portland at all.... So. Come! Enjoy! It's free.

My entry in Prairie Schooner

The current issue of Prairie Schooner is a collaboration with Cordite Poetry Review, and the theme of the issue is "work".

Cordite has reprinted some work of mine. A great honour, as I'm sharing a page with Marilyn Hacker. The early issues of Gobshite featured many of Marilyn Hacker's translations.

I must away and go to work. The day, the dollar, and the med-insurance are calling.

When I was a kid, in the mornings, it used to be doves that called me into the great wide light. Early spring in Portland is alive with birdsong in the early mornings - the hopeful, reassuring sounds of life in common with complex and changing beauty.
