Let’s talk! Reach out with the contact information below, or send a message using the form. I’m available for readings, discussions, classes, and workshops in creative writing, particularly poetry and creative nonfiction. I also help/coach writers on an individual basis.
If you want signed copies of Water. Witness. Word. or The Girl Singer, write me a note, and we can make that happen.
