As a thank you for your donation, we'd love to offer you expedited responses (1-2 weeks) on your submission We believe that quality poetry is like Robert Frost and W.H. Auden describe: emotion put into clear, thoughtful words. We love poetry that offers a glance into a single moment when emotions are both wild and restrained, and the speaker has both clarity and uncertainty in how to move forward. The name was inspired by a field guide when one goes hiking on new or old trails. I’ve always loved poetry that not only opened my view of the world and helped me consider other perspectives but gave light to the complex terrain of human emotions. Poetry often starts at the crossroads between sadness and joy, fear and safety, newness and routine.
