Featured performances and milestones. This does not include one off performances at open mics or ekphrastic shows, or poet laureate celebrations of which I have participated in many. I also hosted 19 instances of Poetry in Notion from June 2017 through September 2019, and have judged the Solano Teen Writing Contest’s poetry category since 2018. Awards, press, and publications are listed on other pages of this website. I’m slowly adding video links if they exist.
