Leah Naomi Green's poetry and prose express the intimate and wild connections she cultivates (literally and figuratively) between herself, her family and community, and the greater than human world. Her life as a homesteader in rural Virginia both shapes and is a product of her poetic imagination and her expansive cosmology. Her first book of poetry, The More Extravagant Feast, won the Walt Whitman Award of the Academy of American Poets and is published by Graywolf Press.
