The Poet for Hire Has News and Events
I'll be updating this site with news concerning my work and readings, as well as including features for Stone Soup Poetry. For slightly more updated news, more personal material, and occasionally more quirky things, you can visit my blog.
My Poetry Collection is Out Now From Tell-Tale Chapbooks
In 2005 I started my tenure at the historic weekly reading series Stone Soup Poetry, co-hosting and promoting at first before becoming the full time host.
Ten years later, I began a series called Stone Soup Croutons, poems I would write based on what was read on the open mic and who was featured each week.
The Collapsed Bookshelf is a selection of Stone Soup Croutons pieces written from June 2015 to August 2016. This book collects reworked poems, many of which are no longer available online.
I am grateful to Mignon Ariel King and Tell-Tale Chapbooks for giving this work a brand new presentation. I am also grateful to Edward S. Gault for providing photography for the cover.
Order my book now off of Amazon. Thank you for your support.

June 23: Summertime, and Russell DuPont is Ready
Russell DuPont is one of those south shore writers I would have been thrilled to run into back in the days when I tried to hit a hundred local open mics. He's a workhorse who I've been glad to meet through the new online world of poetry. I'm also glad to give him a Stone Soup feature for June 23. This is someone who deserves to be know more in the Boston poetry scene. Be on the Zoom call and find out why.

June 30: Patricia Carragon Serves it Up New York Style
My jokey headline aside, I've had the privilege of featuring twice (once in person, once online) for Patricia's Brownstone Poets reading series. It's only right to return the favor. On the last Wednesday of June, we finally welcome Patricia to Stone Soup. She's been on fire lately, and I can't wait for her to share that energy for a full feature timeslot.
