I’m glad to be part of Bodega Magazine’s 80th issue celebrating #NationalPoetryMonth. I wrote “Eating in my Sleep” in the shock of grief, two weeks after my father passed away. Two years later, here it is, happily nestled among poems by Sahar Muradi, Rico Frederick, Carrie Conners. Thanks to Bodega editor Cat Richardson and guest editor Arden Levine. And to my friend Naomi Extra, who is named in the poem. As always, thanks for reading: http://www.bodegamag.com/articles/420-eating-in-my-sleep

Here I am, filming a segment for the CUNY TV series “Shades of U.S.” Gratitude to the producer Darrell Brown, pictured above, for helping me to tell my story as a poet from a multiracial family. UPDATE: The show will air October 18th, 2018 and streaming on October 19th onward. More info: http://tv.cuny.edu/show/shadesofus/PR2007865

I was very happy to be among the poets featured on WNYC radio for the National Poetry Month #NYcityverse challenge. You can listen to the 3-minute radio spot here.
