Last year I visited Towson University, where I had the chance to sit in on my friend Leslie Harrison’s poetry workshop and speak with her students, and later give a reading to a welcoming and attentive audience.

At that reading I was introduced by James Hancock, a Towson student and the nonfiction editor of their literary journal, Grub Street. James spoke kindly and insightfully about my book, and later invited me to talk more about my work with him for the magazine.

You can read the interview here.

Thanks again to Leslie, James and everyone at Towson who made me feel so welcome!

Hearty thanks to the editors of The Southern Review for picking up "Forgotten Until You Find It," a poem from my upcoming book, The Grace of Distance. It will appear in the magazine next year.
