I’m pleased to say that I’ll be taking part in the Possumtown Book Fest, August 24. Friendly City Books is organizing this event at the Columbus Arts Council, and Emily Liner asked me to be part of a panel on Walter Inglis Anderson. I’ll be talking about him and my book of poems, Barrier Island Suite.
Thanks to this invitation, I’ve updated my Events page for the first time in awhile, adding the panel to my calendar and posting a few more details above in the description area. That page is about to get more activity as I gear up for the launch (next spring) of Tree Fall with Birdsong. I’m glad to see it still works the same way it used to. That’s been one place I’ve kept track of readings and other appearances related to my writing.

I am a poet, translator, and professor of literature and creative writing at Mississippi University for Women, where I direct the Low-Residency MFA in Creative Writing, the undergraduate concentration in creative writing, and the Eudora Welty Writers' Symposium. I am Chair of the Department of Languages, Literature, and Philosophy, and I have published four collections of poetry, Tree Fall with Birdsong, Barrier Island Suite, Time Capsules, and Landscapes and Architectures, as well as a collection of translations of the Belgian poet Paul Snoek, Hercules, Richelieu, and Nostradamus, and the textbook A Writer's Craft: Multi-Genre Creative Writing. I was born and raised in Osage, Iowa, and have lived for over thirty years in Columbus, Mississippi, where my wife Kim and I let wildflowers grow in our yard to the delight of spring polinators and only some of our neighbors.
