Friends, I'm pleased beyond words to have a poem included in the new Grayson Books anthology
Tree Lines: 21st Century American Poems, edited by Jennifer Barber, Jessica Greenbaum, and Fred Marchant. Look at that luminary lineup of poets! Some of the proceeds from sales will be donated to a cause dear to me, the National Park Service Foundation. Here's a little information:
Just in time for
Earth Day and Arbor Day, Grayson Books has published Tree Lines: 21st
Century American Poems, an anthology that includes work from 130 contemporary
poets, including U.S. Poet Laureates, Pulitzer Prize winners, and other
outstanding writers. The poems launch conversations about our tender, fierce,
and awed relationship to trees in cities and forests, in orchards and open
fields. This important new collection reflects contemporary American poets’
heightened awareness of place, close observation of nature, and concern for the
earth’s changing climate. A portion of the book’s proceeds will be donated to
the National Park Service Foundation.
