Anthology is Foreword Book of the Year Finalist

I am excited to announce that The Nature of Our Times: Poems on America's Lands, Waters, Wildlife, and Other Natural Wonders poetry anthology from Paloma Press and Poets for Science is a Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Finalist!

I'm appreciative to Paloma Press and the co-editors of the anthology for all the advocacy work they do for this publication and for sharing the events and accolades it receives with their social networks as well as its contributors. I have never felt as connected to the contributor group after a publication has come out as I do with this one. I am so grateful that my "Leaves on the Tree" poem was chosen for this anthology.

As the co-editors say on the Paloma Press website: "From Foreword INDIES: “Finalist titles now move to the next stage of evaluation. Teams of librarians and booksellers will review the entries and determine the gold, silver, and bronze winners in each category. Winners will be announced in June 2026.” The list of finalists in the Nature category is here.

"We’re deeply grateful for the recognition and thankful to everyone who has supported our work. Stay tuned for updates this summer!"
