I’ve got several in-person events next month related to speculative poetry: 

• Writer’s Fair at the Willamette Writers Conference, Portland, OR, August 1, 2025, 5pm-7pm PDT – Come see me at the table for the Science Fiction & Fantasy Poetry Association (SFPA)!  Learn more about this professional organization, or just chat with some of my awesome local poet friends and me.  Free and open to the public. 
• Worldcon 2025, Seattle, WA, August 13-17, 2025 – On that Saturday I’ll be participating in a poetry reading and then on a panel discussing how to do just that: perform your poetry for an audience.  I’ll be in the company of some amazing poets! 
• Chatter PDX: A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Portland, OR, August 31, 2025, 10:30am-11:30am PDT – I’ll be the spoken word guest who reads poetry to accompany live classical chamber music, this time performed by Maria Garcia and Yoko Greeney.  I love when poetry and music mix, although at next month’s event it won’t be simultaneous.
