Much to tell, much to do!

There’s lots of news of which to tell! In no particular order, here’s what’s new:

• Writing Knight Press is graciously including me in their lineup of featured poets for the 20th National Poetry Month! The details for the event at which I’ll be reading haven’t yet been finalized, but  UPDATE: Here is the event info! I am scheduled for the evening of April 4th! My 100-word bio is now featured on their website!
• As you may have noticed, I’ve created an official Facebook page for my career as a poet! Please “Like” me to be among the first to hear what I’m up to!
• Last but not least, I’m excited to announce that The Ghazal Page has accepted my submission of “Ghazal of Humanity” for an upcoming publication!

Please watch for updated on these and other topics in the near future!

Open Mic Tonight at Coffee Phix Café

Hi, everyone! If you’re in the area and available to be entertained, I’d love to see you in the audience tonight when I perform in the “Open Mic at The Phix” at the Coffee Phix Café on Mayfield Road in South Euclid! My lineup of poems depends on the time limit, which I’ll find out when I get there, so be there to be surprised!

The show starts at 7:30 (be there before 7:00 if you’d like to register to perform!) This event is FREE for attendees and participants!

Check back here for new poetry very soon! I already have several pieces ready, so there will be no excuses for further unreasonable delays on my part! Videos of my two recent Hessler readings will also be uploaded, as promised!
