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.
Two visual texts in Tupelo Quarterly
I think all texts are visual; we probably need a better way to think about the mark a letter is and the mark a word is. But here they are. Very grateful to Mary-Kim Arnold for the invitation to send work, and to the editors for placing these.
The Clock Tells The Hour
“Broken blue-and-white handled mug, maker unknown”
I will be reading a poem about this mug in the collection of the Portland (ME, US) Museum of Art on the evening of April 21, part of a reading celebrating the collection of the museum through the ARTWORD Program. You can find information and a link to register here.
