Pimping Rattle in Avon Lake

Recently uploaded: On November 6th 2021 I had the pleasure at participating in the Avon Lake Public Library's annual Read Write Local event. During the book fair someone came by with a microphone and asked each author to share a little something. You'll find me rambling in this clip beginning around the 25:44 mark. Many thanks to Gerry Vogel, the library and Avon Lake Community Television.

Burroughs, Babcock and Kahl: 11/9/2019 at the Avon Lake Library

On November 9th, I had the pleasure of being part of the Avon Lake Public Library​'s Read Write Local program. Avon Lake Community Television recently broadcast highlights of the day, including this clip where local poets Monica Weber Babcock, Lisa Kahl and I read from our latest works and answer questions about writing, publishing, and performing poetry. Special thanks to librarian and moderator Gerry Vogel. (The three poems I read in this clip are "Kiss, "Dry Cast" and "Lens.")
