I will read my poems at the Woman’s Club of Winter Park on Thursday, Jan. 10, at 2 p.m. A question-and-answer session will follow. The club is at 419 S. Interlachen Ave. across from Rollins College.
I was pleased to learn that writer Meg Johnson was “swept away” by my book Beauty Lessons when asked about her favorite books in an interview. I’m not speaking to an empty room! Meg is a poetry editor of Rubbertop Review and editor of the upcoming Dressing Room Poetry Journal. She is a poet, dancer and blogger.
I have finished my fourth poetry collection — a full-length book titled Hold Still — and another chapbook, Bald Is the New Black. They are making the rounds of book contests.

My poem “Valentine’s Day at Elementary School” is featured on the Polka Dot Poetry Peacock, a sculpture created by Cara Nusinov of South Florida. The artist festooned her work – part of a public art exhibition in the Coconut Grove area of Miami—with hundreds of poems through decoupage. “Art makes poetry touchable,” Cara said.
