May 2024 Events

May is crazy for so many reasons when you’re a teacher…when you’re a student…when you’re both!

But I’m hanging in there. It helps to have some exciting things to look forward to. Here are a couple I’m excited to share:

The Mutable Hour brought to you by Mutabilis Press

This is a great reading series with some great poets.

AWP Proposal Accepted!

The panel I wrote for the AWP Two-Year College Caucus was accepted! It’s called “It’s Possible: Advocating for the Two-Year College Student.” I can’t wait to see the other Caucus members and attend the AWP Conference and Bookfair in Seattle in March.
