Caroline Goodwin’s recent books include Old Snow, White Sun, Madrigals, Trapline, and The Paper Tree. Aileen Cassinetto says, “Exquisite and precise, Caroline Goodwin’s newest poetry collection, Old Snow, White Sun traverses various terrains with grace and a commitment to astonishment. Ferocity and decaying bodies populate these poems but also tenderness and rhythmic hope. Find in these poems a heron, a river, a hurricane, a floodgate, a levee, a story. ‘The one where the girl is strong enough. The one where she survives.’” A former Wallace Stegner Fellow in poetry at Stanford University, she lives and teaches in the San Francisco Bay Area.
