We’d like to welcome one of our newest board members, Jeremy Ra! We’re ecstatic to have him aboard and can’t wait to see what he contributes!

A Best-of-the-Net and Pushcart Prize nominee, Jeremy Ra’s poems have appeared in Los Angeles Book Review, Spillway, I-70 Review, Cultural Daily, and other publications. He was the recipient of the Morton Marcus Poetry Prize. His first chapbook, Another Way of Loving Death, was published by Moon Tide Press, and his collaborative chapbook, God Is a River Running Down My Palm, was published by Picture Show Press. He currently co-hosts the interview series on Poetry.la. By day, he is a litigation paralegal specialist at an Am Law 100 firm and has represented high-profile clients in a broad range of litigation matters including intellectual property, trademark, patent, commercial class actions, employment, and tax.

Such a pleasure to discover this wonderful poet @alexhere.ok - in this interview, we talk about her wonderful collection Sticky Time and the experiential arbitrariness of temporality. Hope you enjoy the interview and the collection!

So excited to be reading at the Claremont Helen Renwick Library next Saturday!!

For Poetry.la's first Book Release series, I had the good fortune of interviewing the wonderful and generous Steven Reigns about his moving collection Outliving Michael. He's the first poet laureate of West Hollywood and the reason so many of us poets had the honor of being featured on the billboard at the complex of Fairfax and La Brea and the street banners during National Poetry Month. #poetryla

Had a wonderful time interviewing the brilliant and charming @charlesjensen for @poetry.la ! As a general rule, if you like All About My Mother, we're going to have some fun.

I had the good fortune of interviewing the legendary Ron Koertge for Poetry.la. I continue to learn so much from Ron. Please check out the interview on Poetry.la's website!

Next Friday (10/17/25), I'll be at @bblitarts celebrating the book launch of two amazing people and their works, @fergiebeat and @kathleenflorencepoet !! I personally can't wait!

Honored to have a poem in Los Angeles Review of Books! This became unintentionally timely with the recent passing of Jane Goodall.

@lareviewofbooks "Every day, the forest is a blank page we doodle on / with our foraging. And the night crumples / it up then gives us another page / blank like the mouth of daybreak."

Jeremy Ra inhabits the conflicted mind of chimpanzee caretaker Janis Carter in a poem from LARB Quarterly no. 46: "Alien." Read at our #linkinprofile.
