Poem in UCLA Syllabus

Automat (Edward Hopper, 1927)

Thrilled to say that my poem, "Edward Hopper's Automat", will be studied in THIS upcoming poetry course given by Suzanne Lummis at UCLA.

The poem is the final poem in my latest book, Glad and Sorry Seasons (Biblioasis, 2014).

Yesterday I also received a beautiful letter from one of Rhina P. Espaillat's students, who was inspired to write a pantoum because of another of my poems: "The Lost Villages: Inundation Day", also in Glad and Sorry Seasons.

Thank you, Suzanne and Rhina!
