Save the date! On December 10, I'll be exploring ways in which visual art and poetry meet and mingle to provide mutual inspiration. I'm pleased to be reading with a group of wonderful writers and artists: Gabriele Glang, JoAnn Lord Koff, Kindra McDonald, Leah Gausch Waldrop, and Charles Wilson. Hosted by Cathy Hailey and sponsored by the Poetry Society of Virginia's Northern Region.
