Why subscribe?

By subscribing, you’ll receive a very occasional newsletter including publishing updates, blog posts, links to new poems, an occasional beginner’s-guitar serenade, and pictures of my opinionated dog Luna. You’ll also get full access to the website. And, perhaps most importantly, you’ll received new episodes of my podcast, Be True, as I drop them. Never miss an update.
