Two years ago, Moment Magazine published my poem 9 Av . It has been an intense Three Weeks this year.

"Do Not Return" made    this week's SPD recommended list! This may be a (very) small step for humankind, but a huge step for the little book!! I'm certainly over the moon :)

Aron Hirt-Manheimer wrote a beautiful and thoughtful review of my debut collection that is live on reformjudaism.org

My poetry collection will be released on July 1 and is now available for pre-order with Broadstone Books. 

My poem "Night of Joy" was a finalist in the Brooklyn Poets Walt Whitman Bicentennial contest and is now in Fell Swoop #160. Click Read More or the three dots to see the full poem! The epigraph says: I can't describe the pleasure meeting you last night. I'm enjoying the lack of description. 

Thoughts While Contemplating Trees in Green-Wood was among the poems published in Fell Swoop. They changed the format of the poem, so this is a shot from my publisher's PDF of my manuscript for Do Not Return that will go to the printer soon. 

I'm excited to be a finalist in the Brooklyn Poets Whitman Bicentennial Contest, judged by Mark Doty, Tina Chang, and Rowan Ricardo Phillips. The celebration on May 31 will feature readings from the winners (including my friend and Sweet Action member Marietta Brill) and the judges. More on the winners and celebration on May 31 here. 

I have two readings coming up in May: May 4th for the launch of Curlew Quarterly Winter Issue 2018/19 May 14th with LiveMag at the KGB

I just learned that Agnès Varda died today. The last time I saw one of her movies was at the Museum of the Moving Image, on an unhappy date. But the movie was exquisite. The poem I wrote in the aftermath was published at Rascal  - it is the second poem scrolling down . 

I will have two poems in the next issue of Curlew Quarterly Review, Industry City and a vignette from my Dispatch from Buenos Aires series, Sur/South . (Two others, Inundación/Flood and Inseguridad/Insecurity were included in the recent No, Dear Diaspora issue.) In the meantime, check out my fellow poets who were featured in previous Curlew issues !
