Join independent literary food journal, Sobremesa Magazine, and the First Light Books community in Austin for the Vol. 5 launch party. Hosted by Sobremesa editor Katie Rice, this gathering will involve readings from featured contributors. My poem "Not poisonous but bitter" will appear in the pages of this issue. (I’m sorry to say I won’t be there in Austin in person, but please attend and support the magazine!)

A celebration of the latest issue of the New England Review, with readings and performances from recent contributors, including Sean Carlson with Emily Pittinos, Jodie Noel Vinson, and John Cotter.

Please register here as (a LitArts RI member or as a member of the general public) to participate in my 90-minute workshop, “Writing Family,” and/or to attend a full day of other workshops at the Writers’ Block Party. Whether you have a project under development, are just getting started, or have an idea you’ve been fighting to get onto the page, I’ll look forward to supporting you during our time together.
