Reading and Book signing

The Book Jewel Bookshop 6259 W. 87th Street, Westchester, CA, United States

Dear Friends,
On 16 April 2022, I'll be reading from Dear Traveler and the updated edition of Sacred Sites: The Secret History of Southern California with the award-winning poet, Tom Laichas.

WHERE: The Book Jewel Bookshop, 6259 W. 87th St., Westchester CA 90045
WHEN: Saturday, April 16, 6PM

The bookstore will have books ready for signing and enjoying! There is ample easy parking. What a joy to read in person!

The poems in my new collection address a traveler navigating our ordinary world, now grown precarious. Dear Traveler wends its way through the cycles of a year and of a life-time from garden figs and squirrels to freeways, fires, war, and more. Perhaps you, too, are on the traveler's path?

I'd love it if you could be there!
