Brenda Yeager is a poet & writer living on the edge of a canyon in the ancestral lands of the Northern Pomo people in Lake County, California. Each time she looks out her window, she becomes a student of the trees, whose blackened trunks and new green after wildfire demonstrate the truth of impermanence & the nature of our earthly fragility. She tries not to get too doomsday about it all by remembering to breathe. She contributed to Middletown Art Center’s Resilience collection of written word and served as co-editor for their Restore book. Both publications and the workshops that generated them were funded by the California Arts Council. You will find her at her happiest reading her work live and listening to fellow poets share their own. She is currently working on a memoir about true refuge, A Revolution of Petals In the Heart.
