THANK YOU READING
and Q & A on Sun. June 14 at 2pm via Zoom.
Three Sea Stones is a distillation of images and themes present in my debut collection Memento Tsunami. Poet Dennis Nurkse has written about my work:
It seems to stand at the interstices between all languages. And like Char and Ponge, (she) cares about words as things in themselves, in the architecture of the natural world. The poems are landscapes and the landscapes are poems.
My gratitude to publisher MaryAnn L. Miller and Lucia Press. Lucia Press is a small poetry and artist book press founded by poet, printmaker and book artist MaryAnn L. Miller. Lucia Press builds upon MaryAnn L. Miller’s decades-long work with Lafayette University’s Experimental Printmaking Institute. MaryAnn has collaborated on artist books with poets Nikki Finney, Sharon Olds, Lee Upton and Marilyn Nelson, among others. Her work is held in the collection of many museums including the National Museum of Women in the Arts, and the Smithsonian Museum.
Only a few copies left of this original limited edition of 75 signed and numbered copies. $25 + $4 s/h. Check to Lucia Press, 18 George’s Place, Clinton NJ .

No River Twice
I’m honored to be a poet member of the Philadelphia-area based No River Twice, a poetry + improvisation group, founded by award-winning poet, actor and impresario extraordinaire, Hayden Saunier. Please check out our website for more info about the other fabulous poets involved and upcoming events.
no river twice is a multi-vocal, improvisational poetry reading & performance group in which the audience determines the direction of each performance from beginning to end, poem by poem, co-creating a reading that is never the same twice.
