I really cannot speak highly enough of Cindy Huyser and Book Woman. It was an absolute joy to read as their featured poet last night. What an amazing audience!!! I especially love the "call-and-response" style reading that Cindy has developed there, as well as her insightful interview style. Book Woman is a jewel in the crown of Austin's indie spirit, and Cindy Huyser is a phenomenal poet with a peerless reading style of her own. That she goes above and beyond by supporting  the success of other poets speaks volumes about her commitment to the art.

Thank you to this amazing community! I am overwhelmed with gratitude! -- and based on the crowd that filled River Oaks Bookstore, I am pretty sure that the Fire Marshall has now issued a warrant for my arrest.  But more importantly, ​Azaleas...  had record sales on her first day out of the box!
       I am proud to be able to donate one-hundred percent of the proceeds from Azaleas On Fire to the Houston Foundation for Literacy. In memory my mother, who gave me my first poetry book when I was just four years old, I am "paying it forward"... because magical things happen when you read to a child!!!
