I'll be reading from Year of Valentines, which is ready to order! Would be thrilled if you read the poems and shared your thoughts with me or online. If you'd like to review on Amazon 😬, that makes a big difference in the algorithm, and I'd be very grateful.

Hello all,
So, Year of Valentines is ready to order! The paperbacks are in, and hardbacks should be available shortly. I would be thrilled if you read the poems and share your thoughts. If you'd like to review them on Amazon, that makes a big difference in the algorithm, and I'd be very grateful.
I'm a little behind in organizing everything, but I am hoping to have a few readings this summer.
Thank you, and I look forward to hearing from people!
John

Hello all. So, we're closing in on this new sequence. #YearofValentines . April. Working on organizing myself and final cover soon. @spuytenduyvilpublishing
We’d love to write with you! No pressure, just an hour to write and connect.
Join John Reed, director of The New School’s MFA Creative Writing program, for a virtual Generative Write-In Session on Monday, February 9 at 7 PM ET. We’ll work with guided fiction and nonfiction prompts, write alongside other writers, and leave space to chat about what life is like as an MFA student at The New School.
Open to prospective students and anyone curious about the MFA. A member of our Admissions team will also be there to answer questions about the program.
