I’m excited to be returning to my alma mater, Appalachian State University, for the Visiting Writers Series. Reading at 6:00 (craft talk at 3:30) at Table Rock, Room 201B, Plemmons Student Union.

Join the Notebooks Collective for a reading and conversation with poet Soledad Caballero. She will read from her new book, I Was A Bell, winner of the 2019 Benjamin Saltman poetry prize. We will discuss memory, displacement, and language.

Join me in-person at the Red Hen Press booth (1040-1042)!

Curated Conversation(s): a Latinx Poetry Show is a monthly interview with a Latinx poet who has recently published their first book. The debut poets themselves have selected their interlocutors.

Three writers imagine how memory can reshape and haunt their current-day lives, with Ari Honarvar (A Girl Called Rumi) and Jan Beatty (American Bastard), part of the 2021 Fall for the Book Festival.

Hosted by Ruben Quesada, a recurring monthly literary event featuring poets and writers from around the world. Proceeds from ticket sales will be distributed to writers and to cover any administrative costs to ensure the longevity of this series.

Porter Square Books and Grubstreet host the latest installment of the Grubbie Debuts series, featuring Soledad celebrating the launch of her debut collection I Was a Bell, in conversation by GrubStreet instructor Rebecca Morgan Frank (Oh You Robot Saints)! Free and open to all, hosted on Crowdcast.

James Brandon Lewis and drummer Chad Taylor perform an evening of duos, including original compositions and live improvisations. James Brandon Lewis, also a poet, will read his work and collaborate with Soledad. (Virtual and in-person)

Official launch for I Was a Bell, at White Whale Bookstore, with guest readings by Celeste Gainey, Sarah Williams-Devereux, and Cameron Barnett. (Virtual Event)

Red Hen Press welcomes poets Nicole Stellon O’Donnell and Benjamin Saltman award winner M. Soledad Caballero in this virtual poetry special! We will discuss poetry and memory, history, and identity. We’ll explore a poet’s way of connecting with themselves, their pasts, and reconciling their identities as they juggle the various “roles” they play in their lives. (Virtual Event)

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
