“When preparing to call the soul back, first ask the Earth for permission to take from her only what will be needed.” In this virtual reading hosted by the Journal of Expressive Writing, Tommy Archuleta reads from his debut poetry collection, Susto (Center for Literary Publishing, 2023), and talks about becoming a published author. Archuleta is featured in “5 Over 50: 2023” in the November/December issue of Poets & Writers Magazine.
