If you pay attention to the news page you’ll have already seen this, but there are two events coming up this week.

First, a week from tonight, I’ll be reading from my forthcoming book AMERICAN FRACTAL at the Cobalt Cafe. That’s Tuesday 9/18 at 9pm. 22047 Sherman Way, Canoga Park, CA. Part of the Valley Contemporary Poets reading series.

Second, a week from Saturday we’ll have a booth at the California Poets Festival in San Jose. If you’re anywhere within driving distance, this is really going to be worth it. Check out this lineup: Robert Hass, Jane Hirshfield, Ellen Bass, Wanda Coleman, Victoria Chang, Francisco X. Alarcon, and Diem Jones. Lots of details on the website, but it’s 10am – 4:30pm, Sat. 9/22. 1650 Senter Road, San Jose, CA.
