Heavy: Poems that Count (Rockwood Press, April 2026) includes ten narrative witness poems, mostly revisions of those from the original online Extinction Witness offerings, that include numbers and/or refer to counting and water. Illustrations by artist Bryan Holland, based on photos provided by individuals and groups working for peaceful coexistence, compliment seven of the poems. Cover illustration of a monarch congregation by designer Grace Vejvoda is from a photo by conservation biologist Isis Howard, Xerces Society, with permission.
Frog Song (educational book for readers ages 9 and up) leads with an interspecies love poem illustrated by Bonnie Gordon-Lucas. The poem by the same title is inspired by the life of Toughie, the last known living Rabbs’ fringe-limbed treefrog, whose story is part of a big death that holds potential for as big a birth. Frog Song includes Toughie’s true story, information on the global ecological health crisis, illustration activities, conservation homework options, a section on continuation, and resources for further study. Cover illustration by Bonnie Gordon-Lucas based on Robin D. Moore's signature photo of an Amazon gladiator frog with Moore’s permission.
