Delighted to have my long poem “The Origin of My Hard Times in Idaho” in the gorgeous new issue of South Dakota Review - many thanks to editor Lee Horikoshi Roripaugh and the editorial team!

Looking forward to speaking at Southwark Cathedral on 24 October, under the beautiful Gaia installation. Do join me! #NomadCenturywww.eventbrite.com/e/nomad-cent...

In honor of the 105th anniversary of Roger Grenier's birth (yesterday), one of my favorite lines from *A Box of Photographs*: Photographs "are trampolines for the imagination." #favoritelinefridays#rogergrenier#writingcommunity

Small but enthusiastic group today at Iowa City Senior Center's Book Report. We talked mostly about non-fiction--three recent memoirs, by Brittney Griner, Nancy Pelosi, and Fred Trump III, along with a renowned book on WWII's Operation Mincemeat by Ewen Montagu, and a classic Philip K. Dick novel.

Posting one of my own lines for #favoritelinefridays#bookbirthday#unequaltemperament The octave "was dry but not quite pure--yes, there was a beat, a small pocket of sound like a water droplet condensing on a spider's web."

And then I heard people say she must have had the questions ahead of time, when they were hardly difficult to anticipate.

A year ago today UNEQUAL TEMPERAMENT was released! Heartfelt thanks to everyone who has bought it or read it or reviewed it in the past year. Thanks also to Prairie Lights Bookstore for hosting a reading--they have signed copies available in the store and online. #bookbirthday#americanbuffalobooks

Cheryl, Anna, and Loretta, circa 1963. A glimpse of our childhood home, no longer standing. Love that look on my face! #oldphotos#childhood#thesixties

Maybe the dog likes the scent of your hand, or of you more generally.
