And We Have A Cover!

Here is the official cover of my second book of poems, The Wishing Tomb (winner of the 2012Perugia Press Prize)  which will be available from Perugia Press in September, 2012:

 

 

Much thanks for my dear friend, graphic designer Eddy Roberts, for designing this cover for me.  It’s amazing, don’t you think?

 

I am currently setting up readings around, the US, a kind of mini-tour, you can say.  So far I’m reading with Houston’s Public Poetry Reading Series on Aug. 4 and February 2 (location TBA, but it’s always at Houston-area libraries), Perugia Press in Northmapton, MA at the end of Oct./early Nov., at AWP 2013 in Boston, and I’m firming up/working on dates to read in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Atlanta, and New Orleans.  Want me to come read in your city/reading series?  Contact me here.

 

In the meantime, you can still order my first book, The Glass Crib (winner of the 2010 Zone 3 Press First Book Award) here and here.  Read Nick Ripatrazone’s lovely review of this book, published here in Shenandoah Literary Journal.
