Today, I had the great fortune to visit the poetry course at Fresno Pacific University. Dr. Eleanor Nickel allowed me to guest lecture. It was a great experience, as the students gave me "snapping fingers," a Beatnik variation on applause that I don't believe I had ever gotten from a group of people after reading my poems. Among the poems I shared were "Chorizo," "September 10th," "Discovering Gustav Klimt's The Kiss," "Musings on a Multiethnic Moon," and "Night at Hume Lake."
The group of students asked great questions, and I had an awesome time sharing my poetry and discussing what it takes to write poetry. I would like to thank Dr. Nickel and her class again for having me visit.
