Hi friends—I’m reading at Stanford next week with @jiachen_o_jiachen and introduced by the amazing @bhion_achimba. We would love to see you there! They ask you to register—but no one will be turned away. And since I’ve been off of IG for a bit I’m posting here a photodump of some stellar recent readings, plus a photo of my awesome first year Stegner poet cohort and some horses and a dog and new ID.
