Thanks for visiting my website.
I hope 2010 is off to a good start for you. For me it means that I will
be hitting the road soon for school visits and conference appearances.
I start off with a few days in Florida, which is a great change from
the frigid weather in Maine. Since spring is always a busy time for
me, if you are interested in having me visit your school, the sooner
you get in touch with me, the better. Click here if you’d like
to contact me or look at my calendar for the rest of this year.
I received
more good news about A Foot in the Mouth: Poems to Speak,
Sing, and Shout, which made the 2009 Indie Next List Poetry Top
Ten, formed upon "the eager nominations of eccentric booksellers
nationwide.” How wonderful. I’m honored to be on the list
with the likes of Billy Collins, Jim Harrison, and Nikki Giovanni. You
can see the complete list by clicking
here.
The
best way to get news about my new books and appearances is to sign up
for my Facebook fan page. That way, whenever I post an announcement—and
I’m trying to get into the habit of doing that regularly—you
could be the first person on your block to know about it!. You can find
my fan page by hitting the link at the bottom of this page.
If you have
something of poetic note—a book, a poem, a link—that
you would like to share with me, email it to me and I will check it out.
Perhaps I’ll have the chance to pass it along to those who visit
my site.
That’s the story. At least for now.
