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.

May 12: John Landry Makes His Way Back to Stone Soup
John Landry (seen here with Arlene Stone) is someone who has a lot of history with Stone Soup poetry. John has not been able to visit the venue for years since moving out west. Given this past year of remote reunions, it would be a shame to not include him in our 50th anniversary celebration. John will be joining us on May 12 to share his poetry along with his vast knowledge of yesteryear's Stone Soup.

May 13: My Menino Arts Center 2nd Thursday Poetry Reading with Karen Friedland
A year ago, I was scheduled to read alongside Karen Friedland. COVID-19 happened, and then our feature was pulled. A year later, Karen and I are coming back. Thanks to the Menino Arts Center for making this happen. Click here to register before next week.
