One more online link! I'm very pleased that my poem, "In Both Hands," has been featured on the Mass Poetry website as one of their "Poems of the Moment": http://masspoetry.org/2012/05/18/in-both-hands-by-lisken-van-pelt-dus/. It was originally published in the Warwick Review.
My thanks to Jackie Malone! Please also take a little time to enjoy some of the other poems on the site - it's a terrific group.

Reading in Pittsfield, Massachusetts
I'm happy to be reading as part of Pittsfield's 10x10 on North mid-winter arts festival this month - so much dynamic stuff going on!
Come see me at yBar at 391 North Street, on Friday, February 24 at 8 PM. I'll read for about twenty minutes - and then we can enjoy some cheese and wine - or maybe some chocolate covered strawberries! - together.
See you there.
