Good Mother Lizard: An Interview with Lisa Alletson (video)

Mountain Madness by Clinton Crockett Peters is a collection of essays detailing the author’s hiking treks in both Japan, during his tenure as a twenty-something English teacher, and in the United States during his time as an outdoor guide. His essays weave together both the physical details of his outdoor adventures and the emotional reflections and meanings of these experiences more than a decade later.

THR Poetry Editor Tyra Douyon reports on Chioma Urama’s epic collection in this poetic and historical exploration of dispossession and kinship—“because nothing, like the memory of water, is ever lost.”
