Jason Wright and I were interviewed about Oddball Magazine for The Sun Chronicle.
Read an interview done of me by Vlad Savich over at Queen Mob's Teahouse.
I took part in my On The Spot interview with Victor D. Infante of the Worcester Telegram & Gazette. It was published on April 23.
On September 27, 2015, I was interviewed by Susan Dobbe Chase for her Blog Radio show SpokenHeard. It was fun, though I went on a bit.
Check out my interview with Boston Cares about my work being selected for the Mayor's Prose and Poetry Program. My interview ws just one of a series of stories of people making good in reaction to the Marathon bombings.
The late Joe Gouveia hosted a regular poetry show on Provincetown's nonprofit radio station WOMR, and he's been offering to feature me for a while. It finally happened in September, and now you can finally hear Part One and Part Two of the interview. Thanks so much to Joe for all his work and support.
g. emil reutter interviewed me for February 2013. I got a lot off my chest. Click here to read it.
In March of 2011, I starred on Ryan "Rat" Travis' show "The Witching Hour," which aired on public access in Salem that April. Now you can see my reading and interview as part of the full episode (I'm about 8 minutes in).
On June 1st, 2010, I was featured at Broad Street Books, a book store located in Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticut. Following that, I went to the college 's station WESU to be interviewed for ArT on AiR by J Cherry. I even got to read a few poems. The show is now archived and available to listen to here. Or you can go here for other download options. Thanks to J Cherry for the opportunity and Brian Mitchard for organizing the reading.
Performance poet and Emerson College student Adam Goldberg interviewed me late last year for a school project that involved creating a website dedicated to Boston's spoken word scene. The email-based interview he posted has since been taken down, but because I was and am neurotic, I posted a corrected, better written version, and you can still read it here.
Poet, musician and memoirist Lo Galluccio interviewed me in The Alewife, which also printed my poetry, including my "Sarcastic Haiku." The editor called my work "loathsome" and even called me "terror laureate" on his supposedly professional blog. Thanks to this website, we can finally skip the middle man. Click here to read it.
Doug Holder of Ibbetson Street Press interviewed me for his "Poet to Poet/Writer to Writer" series. Years later, I had the video put on to YouTube. Watch it here and marvel at me trying to sound intelligent in my first televised interview ever.

Performance Reviews
The few and far between moments when someone writes about one of my features.
Not a feature per se, but on May 7, 2017, I ran a panel at the Massachusetts Poetry Festival called "Motherhood and The Muse." One of the participants, Toni Bee, wrote a paper on the event for her class. She game me permission to post it on this site. For
Toni's perspective, as well as videos of the panelists reading, click here.
This nice article/review comes from the Greater Brockton Society for Poetry and the Arts regarding my reading on February 18th, 2012.
I think Doug Holder wrote this review of my 2005 reading with Janet Cormier at the old Toast Series in Somerville. A couple of inaccuracies, but I was flattered.
