He enjoys the wilds of nature and a sense of place frames much of his poetry. His poems have been published in hardpan\, Quercus Review\, More Than Soil\, More Than Sky: The Modesto Poets\, Collision II and VII\, Homestead Review\, Cosumnes River Journal\, and Steam Ticket. He has four chapbooks. His first full-length book\, A Tremor in my Bones\, was just published in August. \nStella Beratlis\nStella Beratlis is the author of Dust Bowl Venus (2021) and Alkali Sink\, both published by Sixteen Rivers Press. Alkali Sink was a 2016 nominee for the Northern California Book Award. Stella’s poems have appeared in journals and anthologies as well as in the grand rotunda of the San Francisco Transbay Terminal\, as part of a giant LED installation by artist Jenny Holzer. Stella was Modesto’s poet laureate from 2016-2020; is the coordinator of the Stanislaus County Youth Poet Laureate program\, and works as a librarian at Modesto Junior College. She also collects typewriters\, if you want to sell yours.  \nZoe Byron\nStanislaus County Youth Poet Laureate Zoe Byron\, a junior at Oakdale High School\, was recently appointed to serve as the county’s second youth poet laureate. Zoe\, whose parents are both English teachers\, is a confirmed poetry fanatic whose initial exposure to performance poetry (thanks\, Mom!) during the pandemic sparked a curiosity for and love of the form. Zoe’s early work was published in Oakdale Junior High’s annual poetry anthology; more recently\, her work appeared in Penumbra\, the Stan State literary journal. Zoe is also a regular participant in the Stanislaus County Poetry Out Loud competition.
