I installed about 300 poetry balloons printed with two different haiku at Redmond Lights this year. They were given away for free – all within about half an hour to happy children.
Read at Poets in the Park a few weekends back and reunited with one of my oldest friends, my classmate Christopher Luna from the Jack Kerouac School. We studied together at Naropa nearly 20 years ago and worked together for the fundraising department catering fancy parties. Many of the early poems in my book Equivalence were about those strange times in Boulder. Chris looks pretty much the same as I remember him, with some grey in his beard these days. Chris is now Poet Laureate of Clark County (Vancouver, WA).
I’m excited to share that I’ll be part of the 2017-18 Speaker Bureau for Humanities Washington.
Thanks to Donna Miscolta and Debra Ross for hosting me at a special program on race and social equity for King County employees.
I’m having an onstage conversation with rapper/novelist Kate Tempest on her new novel The Bricks that Built the Houses tomorrow at 7 p.m. at Elliott Bay.
Last night at the Rose Theater with Jessika Kenney and Lori Goldston performing Bill Porter’s Remembering Them Gone.
I’m excited to be a part of the 2016 Jack Straw Writers cohort, curated by Karen Finneyfrock!
