Before Christmas, I accepted J. R. Ankney’s invitation to record some poems for WMTN Radio’s show Poetry42Day. This is a wonderful station that you can check out here: http://sasradio.org

The poems I recorded are “Advent,” “The Stable Door,” and “New Year, New Skin.”

It’s a great privilege to have my poem “Born of Water” in the new issue of Pine Mountain Sand & Gravel: THE STRANGE, STRANGER, & ESTRANGED SIDE OF APPALACHIA. Here’s a link to the reading we had last night: a great feast of language.
