READING

Here's a link to my poetry reading that aired via 106.1 FM Toledo and was hosted by Homegrown Toledo Creatives. The program, featuring selections from Singing in the Dark, my latest and newly released poetry chapbook, will air again next Wed., 10/26 at 7PM. All poets and writers appreciate an audience, but there is something particularly wonderful about also having listeners. So thanks to all who listen and especially to those who send feedback.

The photo below, taken by photographer and friend Teresa Patrick, is included in the Alien Buddha Press feature that you can access in my previous post.

As always, thanks for listening and reading!

Well-meaning friends, readers, other writers and critics will always have an opinion about your work. Whether those opinions are good or bad, encouraging or not, should not be taken to heart, but viewed like snow on your shoulder soon to dissipate. Here and there, you might take hints about what direction to go in as a writer, but the meat and potatoes, so to speak, will always be yours to conjure, develop and serve. Trust your gut first and that precious guide that is your true best friend and teacher, your inner rebel. Speaking of rebels, I will soon be moderating a banned book club and I can't wait. First on our list is Alice Walker's classic,  The Color Purple . Other
