Kitchen Table MFA,” a series of profiles of community writing organizations I curated, is up at F(r)iction Lit. Two new interviews are up at The Adroit Journal! I interviewed Angela Voras-Hills about Louder Birds and Meghan Privitello about One God at a Time. (Both books are so good!) My poem ” In the Hôtel-Dieu,” originally published in Cherry Tree, was featured on Poetry Daily. In Fall 2019 the (M)other(ship) tour took Lindsay Lusby, Julia Kolchinsky Dasbach, and me across Pennsylvania and Maryland. selected interviews & good news My chapbook Acadiana was reviewed in Eco Theo and Run & Tell That Reviews. You can also read my interviews about the collection in The Chapbook Interview, Carpe Noctem, Cloudy House, and Speaking of Marvels. (And thanks to everyone who’s read and bought and talked about the book. We’ve gone into a second printing!) Many thanks to the editors of Radar Poetry, who nominated “St. James at the Ascension Parish Drive-In” for Best of the Net. Huge appreciation to the New Jersey Council on the Arts for a 2017 Fellowship in poetry. Kevin Riordan, a columnist for the Philadelphia Inquirer, wrote about the award here. Jan Beatty interviewed me for Prosody after we read together in Pittsburgh this past February, and you can hear that interview here. Thanks also the editors of Smartish Pace, who chose “The Nature of Love” as a finalist for their Beullah Rose prize. past readings and events Black Lawrence Press Off-Site Reading at AWP 2020.
