Thanks for visiting ! This “hello” space is for news and updates. Right now I’m in winter-groundhog mode, getting my studio cleared out, writing a bit, and not doing many public events, though there are always some. (Click on Events in the banner above to find me on the road.) My 2026 resolution is to memorize a poem each month. It’s an exercise in patience and peace. My March poem is “The Orange” by Wendy Cope, short and sweet and whimsical, with a last-line twist.
