During a short reading slot on either Saturday or Sunday of NOPF, I'll read from a completed manuscript and new poems. Although I'm no longer a resident, New Orleans is my poetry home, and I have in the past had several opportunities to read in the city, including spots at Allways Lounge, Zeitgeist Theater, Maple Leaf Bar, and on UNO's campus. I'm excited to perform again for friends, both new and old.
