That’s me, preparing to graduate from High School in 1971.
Tuesday afternoon at 2:00 PM I will do my first live podcast via Substack. I tried prerecording one last week, but it uploaded as a note rather than a post. This one will go out to everyone, but future podcasts will be limited to subscribers, both free and paid. I believe I can save the podcast on my Substack page as video newsletter and distribute it later, but I am not sure.
My plan is to do a live podcast each Tuesday at 2:00 PM Eastern Time, 11:00 AM Pacific Time. Comments regarding the time are welome, and I may adjust times with response. Since I work a “day job” weekends, Saturdays and Sundays are not likely.
This first podcast will be short. I will read a few poems and do a live book review of Traces of Eden by Nishantha Gunawardena. In the meantime, here is a list of my upcoming personal appearances.
On Wednesday, February 19, at 6:00 PM, I will offer a generative poetry workshop titled “Family and Other Animals” at Reve Coffee and Books in Hixson, Tennessee. There is a small fee for this workshop to support me and the bookstore.
I will have a book signing at the Crazy Book Lady in Acworth, Georgia, on Saturday, February 22.
On March 29, I will participate in an event at the Dalton/Whitfiled county library. I will have books to sign, but I don’t know if I a scheduled to read or not. Several authors will be present for signings and readings.
On April 5, I will be included in an authors’ panel at the Trails and Trilliums conference at the Beersheba Springs Assembly on the Cumberland Plateau. This event runs April 4-6 with workshops, presentations, and hikes in Savage Gulf State Park and the surrounding area. Last year, I learned I could draw during one of the workshops.
Humanities Tennessee will include a review of It’s Just a Phase in an upcoming edition of the statewide newsletter, “Chapter 16.”
Good for you, Ray
Om goodness.
