Lately I have been going to James Wright’s poems over and over. Here I share one of my favorites. Have you read his poetry before? Do you enjoy deep image poetry?

Call for Readers!!!!

We’re looking for folks who want to share the awful, the embarrassing, the hilarious, the little bit naughty, the cringy moments from childhood and the teen years (even college!) at this Dear Diary reading night at Cooper House Project.

What we’re looking for:
• Diary entries from childhood, adolescence, or early college (the more cringe-worthy, the better!)
• Readers willing to share live at the event
• A sense of humor and a love of storytelling

Bonus: The mic will also be open for audience members to drop in, so there’s room for spontaneous confessions too!

If you’d like to be a featured reader, DM us your diary excerpt or a short description of what you’d like to share. Let’s turn our past selves into a night of laughter, nostalgia, and connection. You do not have to consider yourself a writer, a comedian, or a performer to participate. All genders welcome to share.

We just want to enjoy a night of laughs and memories with you!

Tonight I wanted to share with you the first poetry book I ever published. This is The Birth and Death of Girl, published in 2018 by Spuyten Duyvil press in NYC.

It’s weird going back and reading old work. It doesn’t feel like me sometimes. But that was me! In my 20s. And I’m proud of what I made.

This book can be found on my website or on Amazon, if you want to check it out.
