Dr. Glover’s poems have appeared in numerous literary journals. In 1975, she was among the top five poets chosen for The Atlantic Monthly’s Young Writers Competition. Since then, her poetry has appeared in journals such as Feast, Nimrod, Terrain, and Women’s Studies.

The poet Scot Siegel grew up in the East Bay and Lake Tahoe, but has lived in the Pacific Northwest since 1987. His second full-length poetry collection, Thousands Flee California Wildflowers, was released in 2012 by Salmon Poetry.
