*The late Mark Spitzer is a contributing author to “Wild Muse”. There will be a selection of his works read in his honor as well as recognition from his fellow authors.
More information about the anthology:
“Wild Muse” is a collection of contemporary poetry engaging Ozarks nature and environment. Some topics and themes explored here are nature’s beauty, sense of place, loss of place, environmental diminishment, and human dependence on nature and its sublime indifference to our existence. Combining the best aspects of chapbooks and anthologies, this “chapthology” features extensive selections from the work of nine Ozarks poets—-providing readers a generous introduction to the voice, style, and perspectives of each writer.
