Jet Fuel Review ​showcases my work in their Spring 2023 features! Thank you so much for featuring me and RHINO Poetry.

I am often asked how RHINO Poetry selects readers. We welcome rising stars, our contributors, local poets, and poets who recently published their collections. RHINO also receives inquiries and selects poets by our editorial team.

Then, Liz O'Connell-Thompson and I organize reading events -- decide dates & time, book a venue, etc.

​I had a chance to interview Karen Llagas. She is the author of the poetry collection, All of Us Are Cleaved.

I had a chance to interview Aaron Caycedo-Kimura. He is the author of the poetry collection, Common Grace.

​⚡ZINE LUNCH!⚡ presents “Create a Graphic Waka Poem!,” a free workshop with Naoko Fujimoto. In this workshop, participants will experience three things. They will understand what waka-poetry is; use their senses, especially their hearing, to create images; and think about poetry line-breaks. Naoko will guide participants through an original Japanese waka poem, introduce the translation, and adapt their interpretation into their own graphic waka.

I had a chance to interview Susanna Lang who is a French translator from Chicago, but she is currently staying in ​Uzès.
