A Persistence of Cormorants with Gerald Wagoner, Diane Corson, Bruce Parker, Tiel Aisha Ansari, & John Miller.

Gerald Wagoner is the author of When Nothing Wild Remains, (Broadstone Books, September 2023), and A Month of Someday, (Indolent Books, March 2023) . Gerald’s childhood was divided between Eastern Oregon and Montana where he was raised under the doctrine of benign neglect. About Gerald's poems, Ken Hada wrote in "World Literature Today": "Wagoner’s poems remind us to set aside faulty notions of progress, at least for the moment, to consider the psychological cost of neglecting the wildness that we should embrace as a national inheritance. In doing so, he echoes Thoreau’s call to wildness as the “preservation of the world.”
