solstice anthology

Enormously pleased to have two poems in the hot-off-the-press anthology, Solstice: Light & Dark of the Salish Sea (Chuckanut Sandstone Press). Edited by Carla Shafer, the collection features the work of 29 poets in two sections, Summer Solstice and Winter Solstice. I have a poem in each section and will be reading the summer poem as part of the online book launch on Sunday, April 11, 2021, at 7:00pm Pacific. The reading is free on Zoom, but advance registration is required. Would love you to join us (and I’ll be reading second, so don’t be late!).

Solstice is available for purchase through Village Books.

one week, two readings

It’s a busy week for poetry and it’s not even fall yet! I’ll be among the readers for two terrific journals:

Tuesday, August 28, 2018, 7:00pm
Cirque Journal
Mount Baker Theatre, Bellingham, Washington

Sunday, September 2, 2018, 4:00pm
Clover: A Literary Rag
Village Books (Fairhaven), Bellingham, Washington

Both readings are free; copies of the journals will be for sale. It would be lovely to see you there!

see you there?

This evening, Thursday, April 24, 2014, the poetry-reading series SpeakEasy presents five poets reading a sequence of interconnected poems at SpeakEasy 14: String Theory. Luther Allen, Allen Frost, Nancy Pagh, Paul Piper and Sheila Sondik will read at 7:00pm at Village Books in Bellingham, Washington. The reading is free (donations appreciated), the poets’ books will be available for purchase and the first 40 audience members to be seated will get a free chapbook of the evening’s poems. Hope to see you there.
