My deepest thanks to the wonderful people who donated to our campaign! We made our goal and are making plans for our first creative writing summer camp.
In WILD PLACE, poet Erica Goss travels through one woman's experience of life, death and nature at its most terrifying. Her poems are rooted in the landscape of the Santa Cruz Mountains, her home for the past 20 years, as well as her experience as the child of a World War II survivor. The dead and the living dwell side by side in this collection. Through it all, the poet's love for her family, home and the state of California, with all of its tarnished glamour, shines through.
