  Poetry Reading: Two Poems from the Introduction to ‘Say The Thing’ (April 2026)

  Apr 29, 20262 minS0

  <p>Well, it was time to host the second “Say The Thing” of 2026.

The ice is broken. That’s the idea.</p><p>Anyway, above you’ll hear the audio of two poems I wrote this week, and shared here re...

  <p>My first time back at Poetry in Motion for 2026.
