NYC POETRY FESTIVAL
I’ve been in New York City for a little over a year now. It’s been a lot, hence some radio silence, but the summer is shaping up magically.
I am reading poems THIS WEEKEND at The New York City Poetry Festival! If you’re in town and feel like taking the ferry to Governor’s Island, you might see me:
Reading with Litbreaker on the Chumley’s stage at 2:00 pm
Selling chapbooks and swag at the Sweet Action merch table at 4:00
Reading with Sweet Action Poetry Collective on the Chumley’s stage at 5:00 pm
Full schedule for the festival is here.
SOFT SKULL AND CATAPULT
