Come see me and fellow Dalton Publishing poets Ric Williams and W. Joe Hoppe at the Austin International Poetry Festival April 12-15, 2007.

This is the largest juried poetry festival in the world, and will take place at over 20 venues in Austin.

I will be hosting a reading at Austin Java on Friday afternoon, and am particitpating in a reading with Peggy Lynch and Larry D. Thomas at BookPeople on Friday as well.

In addition, Ric, Joe, myself, and publisher, Deltina Hay will hold a special event on Saturday afternoon. See the AIPF Web site for details.

I am excited to announce that Dalton Publishing will host a book release celebration for my new book, The Road Home, Poems 1994-1997.

The book release celebration will be held at ARTillery Gallery, 701 Tillery Street on Wednesday, November 15th. The gallery is behind the main building. The celebration begins at 7:00. I will read a few poems from the book at 7:30 and at 8:15.

The gallery is currently showing paintings by ACC Art Instructor, Shawn Camp, whose work provides the cover to The Road Home.

The is the third volume of poetry by Austin writers published by Dalton Publishing. The previous volumes are Austin Chronicle writer Ric Williams’ the secret book of god and ACC Instructor Joe Hoppe’s Galvanized.

I hope to see you there!
