Performances and Workshops, 2026
Join me for a live event this year where I bring my writing to life through engaging performances and thoughtful commentary. I share my newly released book of poetry Fellowship and previous books News of Need and Trample & Sew, as well as new writing. Events are typically 60 to 90 minutes with an opportunity for audience questions. Admission is always free unless otherwise stated and includes an opportunity for book sales and signing. This list will be updated as events are added.
Many examples can be found on my Instagram. Past events can be found here.
