Streaming is a lucid, intimate collection, one in which the heroes and the villains are people we know, where a butterfly and a wildfire take the place of the gods. - World Literature Today Poet Laureate Selects 2016 Witter Bynner Fellow, Allison Hedge Coke The 21st Poet Laureate Consultant in Poetry at the Library of Congress, Juan Felipe Herrera, has selected poet Allison Hedge Coke for the 2016 Witter Bynner Fellowship.
