Notes

I’ll be reading two of my poems at the 2019 Houston Poetry Fest on Friday, 11 October. The reading will be held at 7:30 pm as part of the Opening Session at the University of Houston-Downtown in the third floor Welcome Center in the Girard St. Building, located at 201 Girard St., Houston.

I’ll be reading “The Texas Water Code” and “Unseen Stars.” My poem “Hurricane Season” will appear in the 2019 Houston Poetry Fest anthology, which will be available from Brazos Bookstore and online after the event.

My three-poem suite “A Forest that is a Desert” is now published in snapdragon (starting on p 22). These three poems have been set for a cappella SATB choir by composer Jessica Rudman and were premiered in June 2019 by the Choral Arts Initiative.
