A Good Line: Artist on Poems has opened at Richard Hugo House in Seattle. You are all officially invited to join us for the big reception on April 12th from 6 to 9pm! Promises to be a great time. Nancy Guppy from Art Zone (Seattle Channel) stopped by Hugo House to chat about their plans for National Poetry Month, includes a glimpse (don’t blink!) of one-half of the work I’ve have in A Good line; all begins around the 9 minute mark.

Strait Art runs through May 15th.

I look forward to holding visual art workshops along with two fantastic artists, Jesse Watsonand Margie McDonald!! All the info can be found in this week’s Leader.
