Please enjoy this footage of me reading back in March of 2009, at Rouge Restaurant in West Stockbridge, Massachusetts, as part of the Berkshire Women in the Arts Festival, sponsored by the Bookloft, of Great Barrington. My fellow readers were Irene Willis, Mindy Dow, Michelle Gillett, and Joan Peronto.
There are four poems: "Christmas in Puerto Angel," "West Stockbridge, 1942" (In Memoriam Marjorie Dus), "Light," and "Taking My Leave."
Many thanks to Matti Kiin, who filmed the event and gave me these recordings.
I'm delighted to announce that I'll be reading, with Dennis Barone (and another poet yet to be announced), at the Mad River Literary Festival at Northwestern Connecticut Community College, in Winsted, CT, on Wednesday, April 9. An open reception will follow. Hope to see you there!

I'm always up for a reading; I love to share my work.
