Carol Moldaw and Alice Templeton
Carol Moldaw's new book of poems is Go Figure. Ange Mlinko says, "Carol Moldaw's poems are equally cerebral and sensuous, candid and inquisitive. She has perfected a warm tone that invites you to keep coming back just to be in her intelligent company." She's the author of six previous collections: Beauty Refracted (2018), So Late, So Soon: New and Selected Poems (2010), The Lightning Field (2002) winner of the Field Poetry Prize, Through the Window (2001), Chalkmarks on Stone (1998), and Taken from the River (1993). She's also published a novella, The Widening (2008). Her residencies include a Merwin Conservancy Artist Residency and Lannan Foundation Residency Fellowship; she also has received a National Foundation of the Arts Creative Writing Fellowship and a Pushcart Prize. Her poems, essays, and reviews have been widely published, including in the anthologies Western Wind: an Introduction to Poetry and Contemporary Literary Criticism. She lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
Alice Templeton's new book of poems is The Infinite Field. D.A. Powell says, "…Templeton's poems…possess a dreamlike beauty, haunted—or I should say inhabited—by memories of childhood, family, spiritual community, and the culverts, creeks, and rivers of Tennessee. I think of these poems as quilts, arrangements of the remnants of the past put into fresh and surprising combinations: No matter where they go, they carry the texture and warmth of home." Her poems and short stories have appeared in Asheville Poetry Review, Bellingham Review, Calyx, North American Review, Poetry, and elsewhere. She is also the author of a critical book on Adrienne Rich's poetics, and scholarly articles on contemporary poetics, cultural criticism, and literary theory. Originally from Tennessee, Alice Templeton lives in Point Richmond, California.
