On Tuesday, Georgia Center for the Books, Poetry Atlanta, and Rough Draft Atlanta hosted a launch event at the Decatur Library. It was fantastic to see so many friends and have the opportunity to read poems from this collection. Dear friend and fellow poet Karen Head did an interview with me after the reading and moderated a Q&A with the audience. Many thanks to Charis Books & More for being our onsite bookseller for the evening. 

This was my first solo reading in more than four years, so it was nerve-wracking but also good practice for the additional readings I have coming up the rest of this year – virtually and in-person. More details on those will be posted here soon.
