Carolyn Welch, a native Californian, has written over a decade of poems that observe her local surf, mountains, desert, and people. A technical writer, Carolyn dabbles on the side with creativity that needs an outlet, inspired by her observations of nature. Carolyn’s poems are unique, musical, and refreshing, from her anatomizing the city of Los Angeles to revitalizing the San Francisco Renaissance and 1950s poets. Often her prose visits extinction and ecological destruction; her poems celebrate natural worlds and rue climate change.
