Everything Reaches Out to Everything Else

By Jacqueline De Angelis

Set in the older urban neighborhoods of Los Angeles, Everything Reaches Out to Everything Else shares poetry that explores the nature of our contemporary world and the interconnectedness of life. Included is the poem Atwater, which received the Crossing Boundaries Award for Innovative and Experimental Writing from International Quarterly.

These heartfelt poems capture longings, fears, and the beauty of the moment, while also recognizing the anxiety of living in the world today.

That dog Emily Dickinson Award Anthology, 1997. Atwater International Quarterly, 1997 Atwater Another City: Writing from Los Angeles, David Ulin, City Lights Press, 2001.

There are so many to thank for their mentoring, but this group influenced me the most over time: Eloise Klein Healy, Anne Winters, Liam Rector, and David Lehman.

For many years I have benefited considerably from working with other writers but most particularly from the unflinching criticism and encouragement of Noelle Sickels and Julia Mary Gibson.

I am grateful each day for Ricardo’s support and for our days together.
