“Crossing the Border” gets launched at Avenue 50 Studio…and it was lovely


On Saturday, Avenue 50 Studio in collaboration with Regal House Publishing/Pact Press launched my debut poetry collection, Crossing the Border: Collected Poems. It was a lovely event curated by the talented and indefatigable Jessica Ceballos. The audience was warm and engaged (they asked great questions during the Q&A), and the setting was perfect. If you couldn’t make it, here are a few photos from the evening. Also, Avenue 50 Studio has signed copies of my book, so if you visit this wonderful cultural space, just ask. And while you’re there, spend some time enjoying the beautiful artwork on display, some of which is available for purchase.
