The Poetic Inventory of Saguaro National Park arrives at the University of Arizona Poetry Center on Monday, April 16, with a reception at 6:00 followed by a reading at 7:00 p.m. Witness the myriad styles and boundless creativity with which Tucson’s poetry community has painted the landscape of Saguaro National Park, one species at a time. I will be reading my pinacate beetle poem, which you can preview at this previous post in Writing-Wise. Special thanks to Eric Magrane for initiating this project and for editing Spiral Orb, the journal where these poems will soon appear. It is an honor to participate in this celebration of the incredible biodiversity of the desert landscape. I look forward to reading in great company on Monday. Please join me!
