Hello—

Thanks for visiting my website! For poetry events coming up in May in Seattle, Redmond, and Port Townsend, see my Readings page.

My first full-length book of poems, Search for a Velvet-Lined Cape, was released in January! You can purchase a copy at Open Books and Elliott Bay Book Co. in Seattle, at readings, from the publisher Mayapple Press, or on Amazon.com.

Poems recorded by 94.9 KUOW Public Radio Literary Producer Elizabeth Austen and archived online:

• A Quiet
• On Looking at a Snapshot of Us Wearing 3-D Glasses
• Restoration
• Eskimo Pie
• Kitchen
• Poems inspired by the Jazz Age, newspaper headlines and the short-lived mayfly: "Letter from Zelda," "Rejection Letter from Gertrude Stein," "Answers from the Man Who Tried to Cook an Egg Over the Eternal Flame in Paris," and "Ephemeroptera." (Recorded in 2005 at On the House in Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood as part of the "Reel to Reel" poetry series. Poems start about halfway through the segment, after Garrison Keillor.)
