Loved being able to read a "call and response" at FIX Poetry with the amazing Elina Petrova!!! This reading included poems from our recently published books: my own Azaleas on Fire and Elina's Desert Candles.
 When you are invited to read your work at the Houston Public Library together with these poetry maestros! Taking poetry public! Thank you to Public Poetry!!!
#houstonpoetry #houstonpoetryscene Chris Flakus @ #defunktmagazine #laurapena #ebonystewart #publicpoetry #takingpoetrypublic  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!!! #azaleasonfire #houstonfoundationforliteracy #barbarabushfoundation #southernpoetry #houstonpoetryscene 
 Look what's just arrived from the publisher!

#wintersolstice #christmaspoem #houstonpoetry  Thank you to Tony Burnett at Kallisto Gaia Press and his editorial staff for The Ocotillo Review. The editors selected my poem, "Lace Pentagrams" -- a poem which has become my own contribution to the "Southern Gothic" literary tradition -- to include in this impressive regional anthology. I am very proud to be reading with other esteemed Southern writers (of fiction and poetry) at tomorrow evening's Houston book launch, hosted by Visionary Heights Art Gallery, 1331 Nicholson St, Houston, TX, 77008 at 6:30pm.
