Winter Equinox Launch for The Fool in the Corn

The Fool in the Corn, my memoir-in-poems, is here: the physical copies arrived in the mail and are now in hand! To celebrate the tarot autobiography thread woven throughout this book, I am giving away free three-card tarot readings with purchase of the book on Winter Equinox at a beautiful sanctuary of a store called L.E.A.F. in Carlsbad...Live Enlightened and Free's Chris Parwell, owner, has crafted an amazing space with fountains and curated artwork and metaphysical gifts and gems and books and incense and beautiful greeting cards and more (a fabulous source if you need to round out holiday shopping and peruse a lovely range of options for gifts and stocking stuffers). Thank you for the opportunity to launch in this space, Chris!

I will be at LEAF on December 21 from 11 am to 2 pm. I can't wait to see you, sign a book for you, and send you home with poetry and tarot blessings; I'll give away the tarot readings on a first come first served basis. I'll be at the edge of the store under a pop-up tent; bring your coat, as we will be sitting outside. I can't wait to celebrate with you! The vibe in the store is incredibly healing.

Here's my latest interview about risk-taking during the process of writing The Fool in the Corn. 

And you might also enjoy this review of The Fool in the Corn, written by Glynn Young at Tweetspeak Poetry. Thank you to Laura and Glynn at Tweetspeak for your time and energy supporting the book. 

My boundless gratitude goes to my publisher, Saddle Road Press (Ruth Thompson and Don Mitchell), and to my San Diego writing group and my beloved Flamingoes (you all know who you are). Books come into being during countless hours spent weighing words, themes, commas, colors, you name it...thanks to the love and care of many hearts, gathering around the same hearth, with grit, determination, joy, tears, laughter, and encouragement. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I am blessed beyond compare. You can help the sails of this small press book fill, and send us further across the waters of the publishing world, by leaving us a review, if you are so moved. Thank you again.
