Sorry to lose Whitney Houston, if not surprised. In the eighties I thought she was one of the most beautiful women I’d ever seen, and what a gorgeous voice. Losing a lot of my teen icons, these days…

A new Poet Laureate of Washington State was announced, and it was Seattle’s Kathleen Flenniken. Her second book, Plume, I’m reviewing soon deals with subject matter close to my heart – the complicated environmental, personal and political history of Hanford, Washington state’s nuclear plant. Congrats to Kathleen!
(Kathleen is the tall brunette in the middle of this lovely group of poets at Open Books last year:)
