MORE ABOUT THE READERS

Patricia Caspers's new book of poems is The Most Kissed Woman in the World. Chloe Martinez says, "In each 'Portrait of God,' Caspers finds the sacred somewhere unexpected: a ginkgo tree; an assisted living facility; a dysfunctional family; the self in all its gorgeous imperfections. These lyrical, surprising poems look at the world with a hard-won clarity and tenderness, embracing joy without turning away from suffering." Her two previous collections are In the Belly of the Albatross and Some Flawed Magic. The founding Editor-in Chief of West Trestle Review, she won the Nimrod-Hardman Pablo Neruda Prize for Poetry, was the recipient of a Hedgebrook residency, and was named the best columnist and education reporter in the state by the California Newspapers Association. Caspers is a librarian and a Unitarian Universalist.

Annie Stenzel's new book of poems is Don't misplace the moon. Francesca Bell says, "Though 'being alive is a wound that won't heal,' the poems in Don't misplace the moon nudge us toward joy and wonder, and linger long after we finish reading, like 'a whisper / as if bliss were stirring.'" Annie Stenzel's first collection is The First Air After Absence. Widely published in such journals as Chestnut Review and One Art, she has been nominated several times for the Pushcart Prize and Best of the Net. A poetry editor/reader for the online journals Right Hand Pointing and West Trestle Review, she lives on unceded Ohlone land in walking distance of the San Francisco Bay and pays a voluntary tax to help restore indigenous life.
