Luther Allen

trees: memories, elegies

 

Luther Allen writes poems from his mostly unmanaged 10 acres of mountainside near Bellingham, Washington. His academic work centered primarily on biology and geography; he is a retired building designer. He has published two volumes of poetry: The View from Lummi Island and A Spiritual Thread (https://othermindpress.wordpress.com). His work is included in numerous journals and anthologies, including Refugium; For Love of Orcas; Washington Poetic Routes; I Sing the Salmon Home; New Mexico Poetry Anthology 2023; The Madrona Project (3 volumes); Black River: Death Poems; Death Lifespan, Vol 12; and Blue (Humana Obscura). He views writing as his spiritual practice.
