JeFF Stumpo, Author

I’m not going to do a whole end-of-year summary post, nor an exhaustive looking-forward post. But I just confirmed with Myles Taylor that I’ll be the featured poet at The Boston Poetry Slam on May 6, 2026, which feels nice. The last time I featured there was way back in 2009, doing work that was very much meant for the stage (in fact, at least two of the poems I performed I wrote specifically to only work in performance and not on the page). This will be a quieter affair to celebrate the publication of these are the waterfalls in my head, but I still plan to read my butt off for the audience. It feels a little like a culmination in some ways.

See y’all next year.
