I am thrilled to announce the debut reading from my new book of poems, SINGING THE FORGE (2025), at The Ivy Bookstore in Baltimore, Maryland, on Sunday, June 8, 2025, starting at 4pm. I will be reading with poet Reggie Harris, formerly of Baltimore, now of NYC, a fine poet who, along with yours truly and an engaging diverse open-mike, should be a knock-out, kick off summer event before we get hot, hot, hot in Maryland.
About SINGING THE FORGE, this book of poems covers three decades of my work and “explores the singing of what’s shaped us and what we’ve shaped for ourselves. Through poems at times personal, plus vignettes from men and women of the past two centuries in the book’s middle section, these poems offer mirrors of becomings. Readers encounter melodies from diverse lives. Across free verse, meter, and poems of organic form, you might just see yourself.”
You can peruse more or purchase it from the IVY BOOKSTORE (Click here) or wherever books are sold.
Many thanks to the HOT L READING SERIES AND IVY for hosting this reading! The event page can be found online here and event itself here:
