Starting on Friday, November 25 and concluding on March 3rd, I’ll be reading a poem each day. Most will be from my own collection of volumes, but I will see out some new poetry too. Perhaps I’ll find some poetry where I least expect it.

I plan to keep a running list of poems here, with updates each week. I may even read a few poems on IG REELS.
