Finding Refuge in Nature with Jerome Gagnon

Poet Jerome Gagnon's work has been described as sitting at the intersection of inner and outer landscapes, and as a call to action to restore the harm we do to nature and to ourselves. We’ll be talking about his new collection, Refuge for Cranes. ---------------- Born in Oakland, CA, Jerome Gagnon received a Masters in Creative Writing from San Francisco State University and lives and works in Northern California. A former teacher and tutor, he’s the author of the collections Spell of the Ordinary, Rumors of Wisdom, and most recently, Refuge for Cranes from Wildhouse Publishing.
