Very grateful for this careful and thoughtful review of The Century which a friend brought to my attention this morning.

“Big questions” in DEEP WATER
So pleased and grateful that Arisa White chose “Big questions” from The Century to publish when she was guest editor for the Maine Sunday Telegram‘s “Deep Water” poetry column. You can read her introduction to the poem, as well as the poem itself, here.
Conversation with Doireann Ní Ghríofa, 15 July, 3 US Eastern
Really, really looking forward to this conversation hosted by Books In Common NW. I loved A Ghost in the Throat, read it in one day after being given it for Christmas, taught it this spring. Register here; event is free though you can also purchase a book or make a donation.
Maine Literary Award, reviews, etc.
The Century won a Maine Literary Award in Poetry! Here is information about that. And a review appeared in the Portland (ME) Press-Herald. Very grateful for that. A brief excerpt is below.
SPACE Gallery’s 2021 Poetry Hotline
I’m very pleased to be part of @space538‘s 2021 Poetry Hotline, a 24/7 call-in number featuring a new poem every week. My poem “Telephone 8 (You have reached)” is available this week, beginning today.
Throughout the spring, call 1-207-828-5607 to hear poems by Myles Bullen , CA Conrad, Stacey Tran, Myronn Hardy, me, Shelley Wong, Alessandra Nysether-Santos, and Arisa White.
In the words, of SPACE, the 2021 Poetry Hotline is a screenless experience available to anyone with access to a cell phone or landline. This project honors the importance of poetry to speak to us in times of change and upheaval and offers a direct line to Maine-based and national poets and their visions for the future. The 2021 Poetry Hotline leans on art as both balm and bravery for the road ahead, led by a range of poets offering words of respite, reflection, radicalization, or regeneration to any caller, anywhere, when they need it.

Myles Bullen: April 19
Myronn Hardy: April 26
CA Conrad: May 3
Stacey Tran: May 10
