Bill Yake
Andrews Forest Writing Resident (2013)
Bill Yake, now living among the fir and redcedar forests bordering the Salish Sea, was born and raised where eastern Washington pine forests grade into the remnant black hawthorn swales of the Palouse Hills. His poems have been published in books, magazines, and anthologies serving the environmental and literary communities — from Orion to Wilderness Magazine, Poetry, Open Spaces Quarterly, Wild Earth and ISLE. They have also been featured on NPR programs, including Krulwich Wonders, and are collected in This Old Riddle: Cormorants and Rain and Unfurl, Kite, and Veer, both from Radiolarian Press.
