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.
NaPoWriMo 2026 is Underway

April 1st started National Poetry Month and National Poetry Writing Month, which I've been participation in since 2005 with myself and countless others taking up the challenge to write thirty poems over the thirty days of April.
This means I will once again promote a private Stone Soup Poetry group where those interested can post their progress for the month of April. I welcome anyone who wants to join up and take the challenge.
If you're sharing your work on a public website or blog, I highly recommend you submit it to the NaPoWriMo website, which will also be providing writing prompts throughout the month.
Keep an eye on this link to see every poem I post for the month.
Good luck, and watch your hands if you have to break the Emergency Haiku glass.
