On July 30th I had the great pleasure of appearing at my hometown bookstore, Toadstool Bookshop, to have a public conversation with my high school classmate, poet Amanda Shaw, on the publication of her first collection of poetry. It was a special event to me with two former teachers and some hometown friends in the audience listening to Amanda and I discuss how we became writers and also listening to Amanda share poems from her collection.

The Keene Sentinel wrote about this event and her book and you can read about it at this link.

Amanda’s book is on sale through Lily Poetry review. You can purchase a copy at this link.
