Postscript: Poets, especially nature / eco-poetry poets--

Trio House Press (a Minnesota-based publisher) will sell remaining stock of Red Dragonfly Press' publications on its web (https://www.triohousepress.org/)

Also of interest: they're kicking off an annual "Scott King Award in Eco-Poetry."

Scott passed away 5 years ago. He was a highly regarded artisanal publisher. See #RedDragonflyPress for my prior posts on their work, or their web while it's still up (https://www.reddragonflypress.org/). It's good to see his legacy carry on.

Woven with a little extra luck. Finding the complexity in a single stem. How often do we walk past the extraordinary?

“The richness of Donnchadh Bàn’s language becomes a metaphor for the richness of nature... The poem is a song & the music itself becomes a metaphor for the co-existence of different forms of life”

—Meg Bateman on “Moladh Beinn Dòbhrain” for Irish Pages

Ein Uhu ruht reglos wie ein Wächter der Dämmerung. Sein mächtiger Körper scheint aus Erde, Rinde und Schatten gewebt, das Gefieder ein stilles Echo des Waldes. Aus dem runden Gesicht leuchten bernsteinfarbene Augen – wach, wissend, zeitlos. In ihnen liegt die Ruhe der Nacht und die Erinnerung an uralte Pfade. Lautlos thront er über dem Stein, ein König zwischen Tag und Dunkelheit.

A Eurasian eagle-owl rests motionless, a sentinel of twilight. Its powerful form seems woven from earth, bark, and shadow, its plumage an echo of the forest itself. Amber eyes glow from its rounded face—alert, knowing, timeless. Within them lies the calm of night and the memory of ancient paths. Silent and regal, it reigns above the stone, a monarch between day and darkness.

Yellow blooms awaken hope at dawn,🌼
Red flowers carry love till dusk is gone.🌺
Between them, life finds its meaning on.🌼🌺

The grey roots circle thee, who never knew
At any hour within thy travels lone
A human shape but mine…

“MacBeth out-Hughes’ Hughes here. A masterpiece of control, ‘Owl’ is stitched with the kinds of metaphor that capture the brutality of evolutionary purpose in simple, uncompromising phrases”

—Steve Whitaker on George MacBeth’s poem “Owl”
