My poem, “Watershed,” will appear in Undeniable: Writers Respond to Climate Change, an upcoming anthology from Alternating Current Press.
“Watershed” was inspired by my own experience in the 1,000 Year Flood of Elk River, WV in 2016.
The poem has also been selected as a semifinalist for Alternating Current Luminaire Award for poetry.
Alternating Current Press is one of my favorite poetry publishers. Their books are beautiful and they have a cool, steampunkish focus on history and science.
