Fire and Rain: Ecopoetry of California is a new anthology due to come out in October 2018, edited by Lucille Lang Day and Ruth Nolan, and published by Scarlet Tanager Books in Oakland.
I’m honored to have two poems in the anthology, described by poet Dana Goia as “a generous record of California poets’ love and concern for their common world.” This is a book we all need right now, inspiration and imagination to face the challenges encountered in the news every day.
My poems — On the Day He Left For War and Have I Told You About the First Time I Saw White Pelicans, Over Manzanar? — join those of 149 other poets. The book will debut at the 2018 Watershed Poetry Festival on October 13, at the Berkeley Civic Center Park, and other readings are being scheduled throughout California.
