Rainbow Trout

by Scott T. Starbuck

The problem with beauty
is men want to see you naked
up close,
hold you in their hands,
take you home,
eat you whole,
so you become
nothing more
than part of them.
Scott T. Starbuck suggests three activist poetry books at 3 Good Books   for those interested in writing eco or activist poems.  Thomas Rain Crowe wrote about his latest book forthcoming from Fomite Press, “Industrial Oz may just be the most cogent and sustained collection of quality eco-activist poetry ever written in this culture, this country." Starbuck was a 2014 Friends of William Stafford Scholar at the "Speak Truth to Power" FOR Seabeck Conference, a 2013 Artsmith Fellow on Orcas Island, and a writer-in-residence at The Sitka Center for Art and Ecology.
