Not far from my house the rock in “The Rock that Is Not a Rabbit” sat in a yard beneath a few narrow pines. Its huddled shape peaked above unruly grass would catch my eye when I passed. I began to look to for it, a small ritual along my walk. Then last summer, after I’d been away for weeks, I found the trees cut down in my absence, and the rock removed.Corey Marks on "The Rock that Is Not a Rabbit" |

"The Poet’s Nightstand with Shelley Wong"
"As a grown woman debuting over 40, I feel a particular kinship to uplift Amanda Moore’s beautiful National Poetry Series book, a collection that looks deeply at love, the body, and the regeneration of both. An affirmation of matriarchal power and care-taking lights the way, as the woman speaker moves through decades as a daughter, wife, and mother."

What Sparks Poetry:
Isabel Zapata (Mexico City) on Ecopoetry Now
I wrote the book Una ballena es un país (translated as A Whale Is a Country by Robin Myers), in an attempt to say what the language of the academy and the language of activism hadn’t allowed me to say....I conceived this book as an invitation to challenge the boundaries between action and reality, between poetry and essays and stories, between the role we think we play on this planet and the role that climate crisis and the sixth mass extinction demand we take up. |
