I’m honored to have some new poems in the environmental offshoot of The Brooklyn Rail: The River Rail, which “brings together artists, scientists, and writers concerned with environmental issues and climate change.” Read the whole issue online here.

The issue features field notes on ice cores from a geochemist and paleoclimatologist, incredible art and interviews, as well as some ecological poetry (including mine). You can read my poems “Atomic Shade,” “The Uncene,” and “Chain Reaction” here.

Special shout out to Chris Walker, Denise Bruesewitz, and Kerill O’Neill, the co-editors of The River Rail: Occupy Colby, for inviting me to contribute to this diverse and urgent collection. And gratitude to artistic director and publisher Phong Bui for creating this space and vision.
