My latest poetry collection, Here’s Plenty from Cervena Barva Press, is readily available from bookstores and Amazon. For more information, click here. I have given a variety of readings from this book. It was recently a featured by the London 20s and 30s Book Club in the UK.
Unter der Sonne / Under the Sun (Deutscher Lyrik Verlag, 2021) showcases my German poems with English translations. For more information, click here.
I have given readings from Here’s Plenty here in Charlotte, in Lancaster, South Carolina, Huntersville, North Carolina, on-line with Red-Headed Stepchild, emceed by Malaika King Albrecht, and on-line with Visions International, emceed by Cal Nordt. I also read at MacIntyre’s Books in Chapel Hill.
A fun development: My poem “Love in a Time of Corona” was selected as part of the set of the new production of Shakespeare’s As You Like It at the Creation Theatre in Oxford, England. Their production included contemporary love poems mounted in the Forest of Arden. Wish I could have been there to see it!
I recently led a workshop for Charlotte Writers’ Club called Art Speaking Through Poetry. Though I have written a fair number of ekphrastic poems over the years, this was a new workshop topic for me. We enjoyed musing together about how poets can make art “speak.”
Last fall I presented poems at a variety of on-line readings in Connecticut, New York State, and Philadelphia, as well as in person here in North Carolina. Poems have appeared recently in The Healing Muse, Sanctuary, and several other magazines and anthologies.
I am pleased that two of my German poems, “In der alten Bibliothek” (“In the Old Library”) and “An Rilke” (“On Rilke”) have been accepted for the spring issue of Trans-Lit2, a literary journal in German.
During spring 2026 I will read a number of poems at in-person and on-line poetry gatherings from Charlotte to Philadelphia and South Carolina.
In April 2026 I will give a workshop called “Revising Your Poem” at the monthly meeting of the Charlotte Writers’ Club, of which I once served as President. I’m looking forward to that opportunity to see some old friends and to look closely as a group at the poetry writing process.
