This new poetry anthology celebrates the vistas of Oregon—geological, historical, and personal. Join poets Alma Rosa Alvarez, Steve Dieffenbacher, Dan Kaufman, Gary Lark, Amy Miller, Lex Runciman, Pepper Trail, and Vince Wixon as they read their own poems and poems by other Oregon poets from this unique collection of poetry from all over the state.
Alma Rosa Alvarez is a professor of English at Southern Oregon University where she primarily teaches U.S. Ethnic Literature. Steve Dieffenbacher’s books include The Sky Is a Bird of Sorrow, At the Boundary, Universe of the Unsaid, and Intimations; he lives in Medford. Dan Kaufman’s work has appeared in many literary journals; he lives near Jacksonville and facilitates the monthly “Open-Mic-Without-A-Mic” at the Talent Library. Gary Lark’s most recent collections are Coming Down the Mountain, Easter Creek, and Daybreak on the Water. Amy Miller’s most recent books are Astronauts, which was a finalist for the Oregon Book Award, and The Trouble with New England Girls. Oregon Book Award winner Lex Runciman’s most recent book, Unlooked For, was published by Salmon Poetry (Ireland) in 2022; Light in the Evergreens will be published later this year. Pepper Trail’s collection Cascade-Siskiyou: Poems was a finalist for the Oregon Book Award, and he has recently completed a new collection, Wild / Flower: Poems of the Oregon Flora. Vince Wixon’s poetry books are Laying By, Blue Moon: Poems from Chinese Lines, The Square Grove, and Seed, and he has coedited four books by William Stafford.
