Overview

As part of a fellowship from the Academy of American Poets, former Nevada County Poet Laureate Molly Fisk created a project to teach kids across California to write poems about climate crisis as a way to work out their feelings about it. Out of the best of those poems and poems contributed by over 100 adults, she put together an extraordinary anthology, California Fire & Water. Including poems by Brenda Hillman, Danusha Lameris, Ellen Bass, Gary Snyder, Indigo Moor, Jane Hirsfield, Juan Felipe Herrera, Kim Addonizio, Kim Shuck, Lee Herrick, Marcelo Hernandez Castillo, and a foreword by SA Smythe.

Poems can help us translate and process our emotional responses to events. And it's been our honor to support Molly Fisk's important work as a poet laureate to bring that notion to life by helping those impacted by the devastating res in California nd some comfort through poetry. May this work be a model and resource for other communities. --Jennifer Benka, Executive Director, Academy of American Poets
