RACHEL RICHARDSON at Books Inc. Alameda

The Book of Light Poetry Series is proud to present Rachel Richardson reading and signing copies of her new book, Smother: Poems

In this searching, defiant collection, award-winning poet Rachel Richardson takes up the existential losses of climate change and insists on the work of survival.

Rachel Richardson's Smother stares down death, wildfires, a pandemic, and never once flinches. In wanting to 'stand inside the fog . . . [a]nd then to become the fog, ' Richardson's enveloping, and defiant, voice rolls across these pages with authority. In a world on fire and dying of thirst, this book will revive you and make you want to believe in hope again.--Tomás Q. Morín, author of Machete

Rachel Richardson is the author of two other poetry collections, Copperhead and Hundred-Year Wave. She is the cofounder of Left Margin LIT and a winner of the Hopwood Award, as well as a former Stegner and NEA Fellow. She lives in Berkeley, California.
