Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Fire and Rain: Ecopoetry of California, edited by Lucille Lang Day and Ruth Nolan, is not only a beautiful and thorough anthology but an homage to California, its varieties of landscapes, and the amazing poetry it has evoked. Like no other collection in its focus, it presents for the reader experiences of life and personal perspectives on the region while also providing an invaluable resource for teachers of creative writing and literature and the ecology, habitats, and species of the state. -- Pattiann Rogers, recipient of the John Burroughs Medal for Lifetime Achievement in Nature PoetryThe battles environmentalists fight on land, in the legislatures, or in the courts are won or lost first in the human imagination, and the range, depth, and vitality of this selection of poems will take the imagination by storm.

Anthology, ecology, mythology, and all the 'ologies' boil down to four-letter words--sacred kissing cousins--love and life. When I pull out Day and Nolan's tarnished gold drawers of poetry and stories, I bask and bathe. My heart thumps. All over our world, we shiver and melt. 'I've seen fire and I've seen rain.' -- Al Young, California Poet Laureate, 2005-2008Day and Nolan have done a considerable service to select and gather these poems. Their ample anthology provides a generous record of California poets' love and concern for their common world. What more important theme can we in this golden land share? -- from the Foreword by Dana Gioia, California Poet Laureate.…
