One of my poems, “The Nest”, is included in Orion Magazine’s latest anthology, SPARK BIRDS. In birding, a “spark bird” is the bird that sparks someone’s interest in birds, and ignites a lifelong passion in all things avian. Orion describes the anthology in the following way: “This collection gathers the best stories, essays, and poems about birds from forty years of Orion. In it you’ll find owls, cranes, thrushes, finches, penguins, petrels, and buzzards—and the people who love them, including Brian Doyle, John Freeman, Elizabeth Kolbert, J. Drew Lanham, Mary Oliver, Emily Raboteau, Sandra Steingraber, and Terry Tempest Williams. Co-edited and introduced by Jonathan Franzen.” You can order the anthology here, a great gift for the bird lovers in your life!
