"SWWIM/TheBetsyHotel Residency" which includes a reading and little writing resbit @TheBetsyHotel which is just the coolest Lit-Boutique on the planet. If you know me, you know I love everything retro. Then COVID 19. In the mean time, this team has planned a salve with four #Salon readings via Zoom. I'm thrilled to share the zoom stage with amazing poet, Sonia Greenfield on May 11--please join us. I'm immeasurably grateful to the #SWWIMBetsy team for all they do to support writers--It's extraordinary and i'm honored to be one, and it's high time I celebrated this win----
Greatest thanks to Editors,Jen Karetnick Catherine Esposito Prescott
