I am delighted to participate in two readings at AWP which in L.A. this year. One is at the Asterism booth, #750, Thursday, March 27 at 11am. Asterism has picked up much of the slack of SPD’s demise. Asterism distributes books by Watershed Press and the Cascadia Poetics Lab including Cascadian Prophets. I plan to read as much of my most recent daysong as possible.

Later that same day, thanks to Pablo Baler, we’ll be at Cal State L.A. at 7pm. From our Winter in America (Again page there is this info:
