I was very happy, last week, to be a featured poet on the site. I bucked tradition a bit and sent them three poems from Africa (two new ones from our recent stay in Zambia, and one from Ghana which die-hard silaron fans might recognize from my 2008 chapbook, Child of Saturday).
I also wrote a short (well... long) "statement of place", in which I did my best to explain why I sent a bunch of Africa poems in to a magazine devoted to the "Pacific Northwest".
You can read all three poems, and the statement of place, in one place here, or individually here:
The bucket is blue and deep and brims with cool water

Statement of Place
As my "Statement of Place" suggests, the timing of this publication was perfect, as Marta and I had just returned from a short trip through Wahshington and Oregon.
Thank you to Cascadia Review for running my poems, and for bringing all of us in Cascadia a little closer together!
