This 'n That

Great turnout Sunday night for the 10th anniversary of the Java Monkey Speaks open mic and reading series in Decatur. I featured along with host Kodac Harrison and read mostly from Slow To Burn. Great to be back on the stage and see so many familiar faces. Love the photo Colin Potts took of the stage!

Many thanks to Sheree at the Poet on Poetry blog for making me Poet of the Week. There's a short Q&A and you can read the new version of the poem "Slow To Burn," which will be in the Seven Kitchens Press reissue of the chapbook.

The Atlanta Queer Literary Festival begins Thursday. You can see a write-up about it in Project Q at this link. I'll be on the social media panel and fiction panels on Saturday at the Decatur Library. Very excited that Bryan Borland (poet and Sibling Rivalry Press founder) is coming to be co-keynote speaker and Daniel Allen Cox (Krakow Melt) is flying in from Canada to read on Saturday. You can see the full schedule at the AQLF website.
