I don't quite know how to express my thanks to the beautiful Paris locals & to the very special Lauren Patterson of The Hague for coming out to celebrate the launch of Loving Tallulah Bankhead. But thank you, thank you so very much. So grateful for you, Paris Heretics.

Tomorrow night in Paris, (wed the 12th) I'll be reading from my new Portrait Sittings series, along with readings by Carrie Chappell, Alison Grace Koehler, #MelanieBlaison, #LenaigCariou, and #LaureGauthier Contact Verse of April to reserve a seat! #poetry #poesie #portraits

If you don't have Loving Tallulah Bankhead yet, grab a copy Monday Spoken Word Paris! The special editions come with a pendant featuring Lauren Patterson's cover illustration, and a copy of Carrie Chappell's handwritten letter to Tallulah. While supplies last! facebook.com/events/4833277…

One of my favorite things about this book is that it represents a collaboration between two Alabama ex-pats. Today, I wanted to share my favorite illustration of the book, the drawing Lauren Patterson made to accompany "Lifeboat." I'm so honored to share these pages with her.

I am touched to read this beautiful review of Loving Tallulah Bankhead written by Katharine Armbrester in the Southern Review of Books (Southern Review of Books). That a fellow Alabama native found this work worth her time and attention is an absolute honor. southernreviewofbooks.com/2023/01/05/lov…

"I'm not a photojournalist. I do not do reportage…. Stories come from a lot of places, dreams and memories and lies and things… things you found and heard and saw and read and dreamed and made up."
