Jim Moreno's "Make Good Trouble" Podcast and Second Sunday's Poetry Reading Series in La Mesa are a mainstay of San Diego's poetry activism and free expression. It was an honor to be invited as a guest on the show. Here's a link to the recording of the podcast. My interview is about 10 min into Season 2, Episode 7.
Check out my set at the Second Sunday reading here. I'm about an hour in, surrounded by a beautiful community open mic.
