Have you heard? Zachary Schomburg is breaking everyone’s hearts and sheltering our knock-kneed frailty from the unpredictable and the impossible with his third book of poems, Fjords. And he’s bringing shadow puppets and violinists with him. And me! My hands do not create stirring shadows or music that follows you in dreams, but they will be there when I join Zach and Manual Cinema on a mini East Coast tour next week. If you live in Philly, Baltimore, DC, Richmond, or Raleigh, I would love to see you. And if you don’t live in any of these cities, or don’t want to see me, but do want to see and hear poems and moving images that will move you like they move themselves, please check out the rest of the tour to see when they are coming to your town.

Hello morning glories. Octopus Books, Black Ocean, and Letter Machine are hosting a night of poetry, music, grinding burps, and art on Friday, March 2nd during the AWP conference in Chicago. I will be reading from Dear Jenny, We Are Find, but the real beauty will happen when Christopher DeWeese, Peter Gizzi, Thurston Moore, Andrea Rexilius, and Zachary Schomburg take the stage (not all at once.) It starts at 9pm at The Hideout. It ends when you want your night to end.
