Poetry Reading: Scot Siegel with David Biespiel
About Tender Currencies:
Winner of the 2024 Sally Albiso Award. "Written with the discernment of koans, Tender Currencies—a narrative of climate, location, and geologic and human transformations—struck me with its lush language, steady rhythms, and exquisite descriptions. Here is a work of close observations of species, land formations, and internal reflections that honor healing and reconciliation, while also seamlessly incorporating the personal: family history and a dazzling finale of love poems." —Risa Denenberg, author of Rain/Dweller
