Our next gorgeous poetry poster is Ice Plant by Marla Gladen.
I loved this poem when Marla wrote it in a Keystone Community Services class back in 2016. It captures some of Marla’s precise memories of the California landscape she grew up in. Today the poem has an eerie resonance in the face of the current fires on California’s coastal landscapes…
Congratulations Marla and thanks for this haunting poem.
