RECENT READINGS

The beautiful creative writing faculty at the University of Idaho hosts the local book launch for No Doubt I Will Return a Different Man, a reading with Moscow’s newly named poet laureate, Stacy Boe Miller. What an honor it was to be in community with the fine folks and exceptional talents at UI these past four years. Celebrating the book in this way feels so right. I am grateful to them and to Stacy for one more moment at the lectern before heading to a new home.
