Programming a college event series? Looking for a performer for a rally or fundraiser? Hosting a poetry reading? Teaching poetry in your classroom? On the worship committee of a UU church? Trying to convince some friends they might actually like poetry? Drop me a line at poet (at) mjoy (dot) org and let me know the details.

A few notes:

• For now, if I'm traveling, I come with a baby. It's always worth asking, but outside of my local area, a child-friendly venue on a train line is definitely your best bet. Consider teaming up with others to schedule a cluster of readings that can make train tickets for me and another parent worthwhile.
• I enjoy doing themed readings. If you’re looking for something topical for an event, or just want something a little more marketable than a regular reading, this can be a fun option.
• Try a house reading if you are not in charge of an established venue, but want to set up a reading with me anyway.
• I have worked with kids as young as sixth grade in classroom settings, and enjoy doing so, but in general my work contains a lot of mature themes and language. If you’re interested in an event with kids, please let me know what your comfort level is so I can plan accordingly.
