"How to Love a Sinking Island" | Bellingham Review | Winner of the 49th Parallel Award in Poetry
Selected by Gabrielle Bates | Issue 91 | 2025
“I adore and admire this poem’s absolutely gorgeous sounds, its powerful accumulation of commands, and the tension of its many contrasts: how each element of the poem exists in service to a meaningful and complicated argument. Ode, lament, litany, song, and more, this poem does what my favorite poems do; it delights, instructs, and haunts. It rewards each additional reading and resonates deep in the heart. What a gift.”
—Gabrielle Bates
