Tree Fall with Birdsong Page

As we inch towards the release date for Tree Fall with Birdsong (May 13 from Fernwood Press’s website and May 21 from bookstores), I’ve been updating this site to add a new page for the book. I will have information on how to order directly from the publisher as soon as that’s available, and I’ve already been able to add links for pre-orders at Bookshop.org and Barnes & Noble. I’ve also seen the book listed at Amazon and Walmar, and even at Saxon, a bookstore in Copenhagen. I’ll let people search for it there and instead promote shopping at your local store through Bookshop or at least ordering through your local chain store (Barnes & Noble or Books-a-Million).

If you’re looking for a good, local place to purchase and you don’t have a store near you, please consider Friendly City Books, Square Books, Lemuria, or The Author Shoppe. I have a first reading set up for Friendly City Books on June 5 and am working scheduling readings around Mississippi, North Iowa, and elsewhere.

If you would like to bring me to your book club, library, community college, university, or just about anywhere else, drop me a line. I will be on sabbatical for Fall 2025, and am happy to travel.

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.
