This Sunday afternoon at 2pm I’ll be one of the featured readers at the NC Poetry Society Reading Series at McIntyre’s Books in Fearrington Village, just south of Chapel Hill. I’ll be reading from my latest collection, Milkshakes and Chilidogs, which will be available for sale, of course. I might even be persuaded to sign a copy or two.
I’ve been to a lot of poetry readings in my time and they can sometimes be a little dull. I promise this Sunday will not be your normal poetry reading. I have something else in mind. It might be entertaining. It might a total disaster. Expect casualties.
Whatever it is, you won’t want to miss it.
