First public reading of “together”

My latest book, together, is also my first book of poetry.

Each week in 2022, my partner, Antoinette, took a picture which I then used as a prompt to write an original poem. The result is a collection of 52 unique, compelling, and intriguing pairings… one from each week of the year.

I designed the book and cover, created my own publishing imprint under my coaching LLC, and published the book through a print-on-demand supplier. I’ve even added some merch!

Last weekend, Antoinette and I participated in a panel of authors and artists, where we read from the book and shared the photographs. We also talked about our collaborative process and how the book came to be—an accident, in a way.

It’s always a vulnerable feeling, sharing your creative output with the world. Going up on stage to read it out loud is a new thing for me.

It was a blast! And the audience members who stayed for the reception after had very nice things to say about it all.

Please get your copy today. The hardcover is way more expensive, but it’s pretty nice. And if you’ve read it, please rate it!
