January 15, 2026 from 7 PM- 8:30 PM EST, online reading from Hilda Downer’s Had I a Dove: Appalachian Poets on the Helene Flood with Kari Gunter-Seymour.

March 19-21, 2026, Appalachian Studies Association conference. I’ll be staffing the Appalachian Journal table and chairing two panels; one is a reading of Appalachian Journal contributors and the other focuses on ghosts and folklore. I’ll also be part of an Appalachian Writers roundtable chaired by Dr. Tonya Nagle.

I’m always excited to connect, read, and meet with classes. Just reach out via my Contact page!
