reading 28 October (online)
I’m very pleased to say I’ll be reading and in conversation with Khaled Mattawa and Valzhyna Mort as part of Brookline Booksmith’s Transnational Literature Series on October 28 at 7 p.m. US Eastern Time, over Zoom. Information is here. The event is free but registration is required.
Three poems, The Adroit Journal
The Adroit Journal has three poems that also appear in The Century: “A tendency to survive after disaster”, “The end of history”, and one of the two “Nuclear geography” poems (if you’re keeping track, it’s the one on the train in England). I’m really pleased about this as Adroit has long been a wished-for place of publication!
Workshop: An autumn herbarium
This year I’ll teach a series of four workshops for Maine Media College, all of which will focus on developing a place-centered attentive practice as the basis for cross-disciplinary/multifield artmaking. The first begins in September. Information is here.
