Risograph: Placenta

I have a new risograph poem available called “Placenta.” The print is a composite of three organic placenta prints made by my doula after the birth of my child earlier this year. Email me if you’d like a print!

Interview + Review of Fossils

Several years ago I had the pleasure of participating in the “broadsides on the bus” public art exhibit in Moscow, Idaho, during which a local artist made a broadside of one of my poems that then adorned the public buses for some time.

The press that orchestrates these visual / textual collaborations, Broadsided Press, has reviewed the book in which that poem later appeared–Fossils in the Making–and asked me some questions about my poetry:

Kristin George Bagdanov’s Fossils in the Making reminds me that, at their best, poetry and science are inherently inseparate pursuits. In the tradition of many contemporary poets and their predecessors trying to make sense of living in, looking at, and loving a world that’s also semi-constantly on the verge (or in the midst) of its own unmaking, Fossils offers poems that meditate and meander, that question and sing. This is a book that looks hard at this world in all its complications and somehow lands on something that doesn’t feel quite cynical—there’s joy in these pages, as well as real, difficult reckoning. I’m saying I loved it: I will try to say why.
