Poet Luisa A. Igloria has been named as Poet Laureate of Virginia for the year 2020 to 2022.
" Phoenicia Publishing is proud to announce the publication of Night Willow, by the celebrated poet Luisa A. Igloria. In this shining and unsparing new collection of poems, Igloria draws from her own childhood memories, relationships, and keen sensory awareness to create a dreamlike series of pictures in which we, too, may see our growth through the experiences of joys, loss, and the poignant wisdom that comes with age. As poet Sean Thomas Dougherty puts it, Igloria's poems "get to the heart of why poetry is written: the pure lyric impulse of trying to live." "
-Excerpts from the publisher's website.
