Lenore Weiss’ poetry collections are a trilogy about love, loss, and being mortal: Cutting Down the Last Tree on Easter Island (West End Press, 2012); Two Places (Kelsay Books, 2014), and The Golem (Hadassa Word Press, 2017).

Sharon Doubiago is a prolific writer of memoir and poetry, whose latest books are Naked to the Earth, “a wide-ranging, lyrical, jarring, playful, elegiac, dissonant, amazing quest to understand who we are and how we became who we are…” and The Visit, a book-length poem in the tradition of investigative poetry as advocated by Ed Sanders when he wrote, “…poetry should again assume responsibility for the description of history.” In The Visit, Doubiago takes on both the Church and State over issues of race, gender, sexual abuse, injustice and the perversion of power in a complex search for justice and reconciliation within the context of history and the very personal story of one man – a full-blooded Shuswap-Lillooet Indian – accused and convicted of a crime he claims he did not commit.
