This month, I’m giving three readings locally. The first is in the movement One Billion Rising that raises awareness about gender violence.

I’m reading poems from some of my recent chapbooks and new work. I’ll also have pre-sale order forms ready for the anthology I’m editing Women Write Resistance: Poets Resist Gender Violence.

Towards the end of the month, I’m reading in Omaha in a poetry reading and art exhibit on motherhood, media representation, and the female body. I can’t wait to check out Sally Deskin’s exhibit.
