My poems have appeared in Kent State’s Wick Poetry Center’s Edith Chase Symposium Lake Effect (2018),  Resurrection River Poems (2019) and Under the Blossom that Hangs on the Bough (2020), multiple Hessler Street Fair Anthologies, #ThisIsCle Poetry Anthology and Bread Loaf Writers Conference, VT newspaper. I participate in the poetry scene in Cleveland and elsewhere; I read often at open mics, and travel to the biennial Dodge Poetry Festival. In August of 2018, I was in Monica Youn’s workshop at the Vermont Bread Loaf Writers Conference, Patrick Phillip’s 2019 workshop at the Sicily Bread Loaf Writers Conference, and the Lost Lake Writers Retreat. I was recently mention in the August 2019 issue of The New Yorker.

Hello Poetry Soup Friends.  October 20-23 is the 2016 Dodge Poetry Festival in Newark, NJ.  I'm fortunate to be able to attend this year.  This will be my third time.  It is a real kick to have four days of poetry.  If anyone is going it would be great to meet someone from the Soup!

Hi Carrie, Great to hear from you. Actually the Poetry Foundation is hosting a two day festival in September in Long Beach. I'm not sure how far that is from you. All the best, JP

Sure wish I lived in a place that did a fun thing like this. I hope a fellow New Jersey poet steps forward to meet you there!

Hi Andrea, It is always a treat. I have made many friends over the years that I keep in contact with. Sadly the festival is every two years. The wonderful thing is Poetry Soup. I have made new friends here and have read a lot of nice poems. I hope to carve out more time to read and comment on the poems that are posted everyday. Best wishes, JP

Hi Jan, It is a lot of fun. The days are 8-10 hours of reading, discussions, open mic and hanging with poets from around the world. It is really neat. I've met three or four poet laureates. If you ever get a chance it is a lot of fun. JP
