Lips Poetry Magazine Publication Launch Reading June 15

I will read as part of the Lips poetry magazine 2024 issue #59/60 publication launch event on Saturday, June 15, 2024. The event is from 2-4 PM at the Clifton (NJ) Public Library, Main Branch. (292 Piaget Ave, Clifton, NJ 07011) The reading is free and open to the public and there is on-site free parking.

Poets published in this issue have been invited to read their contributions at the event. Copies of the new issue and selected back issues will be on sale at the event and are available through their Submittable site.

As a close friend of Laura Boss, I have contributed to Lips since its inception in 1981. Laura was the founding editor and served as its editor until her passing in April 2021.
