About last night— what a gorgeous event “The Nature of Poetry Night” was!
Getting to share my award-winning poem “Dear Nevada” in a setting so scenic it inspires poetry was a full circle moment. I’m honored to have shared the mic with such a talented lineup of nature inspired poets. Leaving the amphitheatre via the Red Rock Canyon Scenic Drive was the perfect ending to a sublime evening.
“Red Rock trails stunning as sunset”

“Dear Nevada” can be viewed in Nevada Humanities’ Nevada, P.S. I Love You Postcard Project exhibition and in my poetry chapbook, HOURGLASS. Signed copies are available in Las Vegas at Mad Red Books.
Thanks to Ashton Melendez, Sidney Blackmere and Red Rock National Conservation Area for organizing!
