Sumer is Icumen in
One of the oldest rounds in English is "Sumer is Icumen in." See the manuscript here. It's so warm today here in Oakland, and the birds are singing so loudly in our back yard, that it feels like summer's on it's way. I have two readings scheduled for this summer, and I hope those of you in the SF Bay Area will save the dates.
The first is at the Berkeley Poetry Festival on Saturday, June 5, in front of the old Cody's bookstore at Telegraph and Haste. I'll be reading at 2:30 PM; the festival lasts from 12:30 to 6. I'll post more details soon.
The second is at Works in Progress (WIP), a women-only reading hosted by Linda Zeiser, on July 10, where I'm honored to be featured with Giovanna Capone. WIP will move to a new location in Piedmont that evening; details to follow.
You can find three poems of mine online now in Apparatus Magazine, edited by Adam W. Hart. Those of you who are poets and writers, be sure to let me know about your readings and publications, too! Enjoy the warmer weather.

Would you help me win a contest?
Dear Friends and Family,
Hope you're well. I wanted to ask for your help in a winner-take-all poetry contest. Don Kingfisher Campbell, a SoCal poet and poetry promoter, posted my poem "Declaration of Independence" on his poetry contest blog at http://winnertakeallpoetry.blogspot.com/
If you have the time, would you visit his blog? Please scroll down to my poem: entrant #2, Monday, May 23. And if you like it, would you leave a positive comment there? Whoever gets the most positive comments wins, and I could really use the cash and the ego boost right now. If you have difficulty leaving a comment, you may have to register with Google.
Thank you!
Warmly,
Jan
