Poet Mary Gilliland will share her latest work from Ember Days (Codhill Press)

Sunday, June 9, 2-4pm


The riveting poems of Ember Days begin with ritual and end with prayer. "At once eco-sensual and erudite, Gilliland writes a nuanced poetry that richly investigates humanity's contradictory capacities to destroy and to love. From first to last, I am spellbound by the largesse of vision and the beauty." — Cynthia Hogue


Mary Gilliland is the author of two award-winning poetry collections: The Ruined Walled Castle Garden (2020) and The Devil’s Fools (2022). Her poems are widely published in print and online literary journals and most recently anthologized in Wild Gods: The Ecstatic in Contemporary Poetry and Prose, and Nuclear Impact: Broken Atoms In Our Hands. After college she apprenticed to Gary Snyder in the Sierra foothills where she studied Buddhism and helped to build a wood-framed public school. Mary retired early from teaching at Cornell in order to devote herself to poetry.
