Poems are Meant to be Heard, a podcast and a few dates

A week ago today, Sam and I were part of a wonderful event at The Pratt Library. Joined by another married poet couple, Jane Satterfield and Ned Balbo, we each read a few poems and answered questions from the audience about being poets and being poets married to poets. It was a really lovely evening, but don't feel too bad that you didn't make it, because they've produced a podcast of it! You can listen to the whole event here:

March & April Events, Touch and Suburban Myths

Hi!
Something a little freaky: my book and my husband's book came out in the same week but a year apart. Suburban Myths has arrived! I'm so looking forward to hearing Sam read from it. Yes, I know the poems already, but seeing him hold and read from this thing he's wanted for so long, that will be magical. His book is beautiful as well as great! I hope you will come and enjoy it with us. And there are many chances for you to hear for yourself. The first is this week. We'll be reading and talking with another married poet couple, Jane Satterfield and Ned Balbo:

Weds, March 14th, 6:30 at The Pratt Library, Central Branch, Baltimore, here's a link:
