one week: two launches

It’s hard to believe that September is about to come to a close. Before it does, however, I am pleased to share some information about two really cool launch events. And, yes, I am biased.

First off, thank you to all blog readers who have managed to put up with the amount of blatant self-promotion for the release of stains: early poems. It’s the release month, so naturally it’s topical. Which is why I am so excited about the release party happening this weekend. I’ll be reading selections from stains: early poems and there’s a signing to follow.

This night is not all about me, however. This Friday is also the official launch party for The Ambassador Poetry Project, a new online periodical featuring poetry from and about Michigan and Ontario. With ten poets reading selections from their work and a great musical performance, this is a not-to-be-missed event.

The evening will include readings by poets John Jeffire, Laurence W. Thomas, Olga Klekner, ML Liebler, Amy Stilgenbauer, Eric Torgersen, Ken Meisel, Dan Ames, Mariela Griffor and, of course, yours truly. Music will be provided by singer/songwriter Carly Keyes.

Here are the details:
