 I am overjoyed to have been a featured reader at this beautiful library in the heart of old Montrose, the neighborhood where I grew up! What a wonderful crowd! I have never felt so "at home." Thank you to Public Poetry for supporting my work and for "bringing poetry public!" #azaleasonfire #houstonpoetryscene #houstonpoets #houstonpubliclibrary #publicpoetry #ghostpoems    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.

#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 #flowerpoet #houstonfoundationforliteracy #barbarabushfoundation #houstonpoetryscene 
 Look what's just arrived from the publisher!
