Announcing January 21st Zoom Poetry Reading

Posted on by

Black Dog Poetry Open Mic 2025

I’m thrilled to announce that I am the featured poet for the January 2025 Black Dog Poetry Open Mic. Many thanks to Sandy Coomer, co-host of the reading and the founding editor of the Rockvale Review. I am especially grateful for this online venue, as my health prevents me from participating in the numerous in-person readings traditionally required to launch and celebrate the publication of one’s first full-length collection. Our Loveliest Bruises is the culmination of much labor, exasperation, love, encouragement, luck and persistence, and I cannot adequately express my gratitude for this opportunity. Thank you!

Please note that an open reading follows my presentation. Poets are requested to present one brief poem. If you’re interested (and I’m talking to you, poet friends), please let me know and I’ll provide contact information. Black Dog Poetry Open MIc has a FaceBook page, where details can also be found.

  8. I wouldn’t miss this for anything, RO. I would also be happy to read a poem of mine that I recall was your favorite, so you can go ahead and send me that info! 🙂

    • Every day, Cate! My main goal, realized. The second full-length is coming out this spring, and I’ve just resumed chemo, after a two-month hiatus. Everyday is an adventure. 🙂 Thank you for your presence!
