Announcements

The venerable Elliott Bay Book Company in Seattle will be hosting a reading of my new book, The Safety of Edges, at 7pm on Saturday, June 15, 2019. I’m delighted and honored to present my work at a bookshop that from the time I was a child growing up in Seattle epitomized the best of literary havens.

You can read more about the reading on the Elliott Bay website and read more about the book on mine. There’s also an article in the June 6 edition of the Seattle Gay News.

I’m looking forward to seeing old friends and meeting new ones.

I’m thrilled to announce that Marrowstone Press has released my new book of poems. The Safety of Edges is my first full-length collection, and since the work is dedicated to David, my publisher thought we should release it on Valentine’s Day. You can learn more about it, watch a video of me reading the book’s opening poem, and listen to an interview in the books section of this website.

The book’s first reading and signing will be at the Vashon Bookshop on Thursday, March 14, at 6:00pm. Other readings are scheduled and being scheduled through the rest of the year, including appearances at the Vashon Literary Conference and the Cascadia Poetry Festival. Please check the the list of upcoming events and appearances for updates.

If you’d like to be notified about special events and other forthcoming books, please do sign up on the mailing list.

Once again, my deepest thanks to everyone who helped make this book possible. May it reach every heart to whom its poems may sing.

I’m thrilled to announce that The Safety of Edges will be released on February 14, 2019. The book is dedicated to David, so my publisher, Galen Garwood and Marrowstone Press, decided to schedule it to be out on Valentine’s Day.

If you’d like to hear me read from it, please check the list of upcoming events and appearances. I will be updating it weekly.
