Tide Pools: An Anthology of Orange County Poetry

by Kate Buckley, Marcia Cohee, Elizabeth Fellows

A tide pool is shiny on the surface and filled with hidden depths--and that's the case with the 42 pieces in this all-star collection, which features work by 11 of the finest poets in Orange County. From Marcia Cohee's bold ruminations to Jaimes Palacio's acerbic wit to James Ysidro's epic vision, "Tide Pools" captures the local poetry scene at its best: incisive, unpredictable and endlessly readable.
