MORE ABOUT THE READERS
Judy Bebelaar's new poetry book is Sky Holding Fall. devorah major says, "Judy Bebelaar has written a book of seeing and connection, of everyday miracles and astronomy, of birdsong and sea, and forests holding mountains, all reaching toward a changing sky. It is a book of the human capacity to face death, to revel in life, and to love and love again." Bebelaar's previous poetry book is Walking Across the Pacific. She is also co-author, with Ron Cabral, of the nonfiction book, And Then They Were Gone: Teenagers of Peoples Temple from High School to Jonestown, finalist for the Northern California Book Award, and winner of ten other awards and honors. Her prize-winning work has been published widely in magazines and anthologies including The Widows Handbook, River of Earth and Sky, The Squaw Valley Review, Turning a Train of Thought Upside Down, and elsewhere. She lives in Berkeley.

Jeanne Wagner's recent poetry book is Everything Turns Into Something Else, runner-up for the Grayson Book Prize. Pulitzer Prize-winner Stephen Dunn said, "Jeanne Wagner brings an originality to whatever she chooses to take on. I love, in particular, how she thinks her way down a page, every line seemingly discovered by the line that preceded it. A wonderful achievement." Her previous collections include The Zen Piano-Mover, winner of the Stevens Manuscript Award, and In the Body of Our Lives. Her poetry has appeared in the North American Review, Cincinnati Review, River Styx, Nimrod, Poetry Daily, Nimrod, The Southern Review, and elsewhere. She has been the recipient of several national awards including the 2021 Joy Harjo Award and the 2022 Cloudbank Poetry Prize. She lives in Marin County, California.
