Poems in Species of Concern examine braided journeys of personal loss and environmental grief, of grasping and letting go. Each section opens with a poem set in a speculative future; subsequent poems return readers to the teeming planet we inhabit, where grounding practices of mindfulness allow us to manage many species of concern, humans among them, both vulnerable and culpable. Throughout the collection are persona poems in which strong female figures, many of them mythical-Anemone, the Sieve Angel, the spider, the red velvet ant, and others-take a stand. These guides dare to break the fourth wall and speak directly to the world; they defy their reputations and talk back. This collection commemorates and rejoices in Appalachian and Piedmont landscapes and species, with stories of resilience and hopes for the future.

Amelia L. Williams, PhD, a medical writer, hiker, and amateur naturalist, lives in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. She coordinated "The Ties That Bind: A #NoPipelines Collaborative Art and Story Project" of over 250 fabric braids made by citizens in affected communities to protest proposed fracked-gas pipelines in Virginia. Her full-length poetry collection was a finalist for the 2022 Wandering Aengus Press Book Award. Twice a Pushcart nominee, she served as Assistant Editor with OneEarthSangha and earned a residency at the Hambidge Center. In 2022 she was a semifinalist for the Pablo Neruda Prize for Poetry. Proceeds from her 2016 chapbook, Walking Wildwood Trail: Poems and Photograph, benefit local environmental organizations. Her poems and hybrids have appeared in TAB, Streetlight Magazine, The Hollins Critic, ANMLY, Rabbit, Nimrod International Journal, K'in Literary Journal, The Hopper, Poetry South, and elsewhere.
