MORE ABOUT THE READERS

Lucille Lang Day is the author of four poetry chapbooks and seven full-length collections, most recently Birds of San Pancho and Other Poems of Place. Left Margin LIT's David Roderick says, "Very few poets possess the acute observational power on display in Lucille Lang Day's Birds of San Pancho. In lyric, narrative, and meditative forms, Day's curiosity and love for the world radiate from every page. The life affirming vision in this book makes it a perfect read for our fraught time." She edited the anthology Poetry and Science: Writing Our Way to Discovery, coedited Fire and Rain: Ecopoetry of California and Red Indian Road West: Native American Poetry from California, and authored two children's books and a memoir. Her honors include the Blue Light Poetry Prize, two PEN Oakland, Josephine Miles Literary Awards, the Joseph Henry Jackson Award, and eleven Pushcart Prize nominations. The founder and publisher of Scarlet Tanager Books, she is of Wampanoag, British, and Swiss/German descent.

Denise Low's new book of poems is House of Grace, House of Blood. Mihku Paul says "House of Grace, House of Blood moves far beyond the personal narrative to create an experience that clearly identifies the blade edge that is so-called American history, and invites the reader to consider how exclusion and connection hone it." Low's previous collections include Shadow Light: Poems, The Turtle's Beating Heart: One Family's Story of Lenape Survival, and A Casino Bestiary, among others. The 2007-2009 Poet Laureate of Kansas, she founded the Creative Writing Program at Haskell Indian Nations University and is a past board president of the AWP/Association of Writers and Writing Programs. She currently is literary co-director for The 222, a nonprofit performing arts center in Healdsburg, California, and is on the advisory board of Write On Door County, a Wisconsin retreat with residencies for writers. She is of Northern European and Lenape/Munsee (Delaware) heritage.
