2025 Monterey Bay Poetry Festival (Saturday, April 12, 2025). Old Capitol Books. Great line-up of readers.

I read several poems from Falling.

Picture (taken by me) at edge of audience. Great turn out for this tiny, New-York style gem, but not unusual for this Monterey landmark bookstore. New and vintage books… everywhere. (Always adding to my book collection!)
