I'm excited to announce that on Wednesday, June 22, at 7:00 pm, LaWanda Walters and I will read our poems together for the first time. The location is the Pendleton Art Center, 1310 Pendleton Street, Studio 600, Cincinnati OH, 45202. My beautiful wife will read poems from her first full-length collection, Light Is the Odalisque, which was recently published by Press 53 in its Silver Concho Series. I'll read poems from Sea Level Rising, along with some new ones.
