Road Trip on the Horizon - You Come, Too!

If it's April it must be National Poetry Month but what happens the rest of the year? You can keep the wild momentum of poetry writing well into May by attending  a workshop at In Other Words in Portland. Have you ever watched Portlandia? This is "that" bookstore!

Kelli Russell Agodon and I will travel to Portland to give a reading at the Press Club on Wednesday night, May 21st and then facilitate our only Portland writing workshop on Friday, May 23rd. Whether you live in Portland or think a spring road trip sounds alluring, this generating new work and learning about publication might just be for you.

Kelli and I plan on doing our part
