Ryan Van Lenning (vanlenning)

I am a published poet for the past 3 years, and also frequently weave writing and the arts into my work as an ecotherapist. I am the author of Re-Membering: Poems of Earth & Soul, and High-Cooing Through the Seasons: Haiku From the Forest by Wild Nature Heart Press. My poem ‘And All the Walls Between Them’ responding to current immigration policies and social injustices was awarded the 2019 Jodi Stutz Poetry Award by Toyon Literary Magazine. I have work pubished in various journals and magazines and the newly released book A Walk with Nature: Poetic Encounters that Nourish the Soul. My poem "Some Pace With Peace Poured Into It" was chosen by the Eureka Poet Laureate's Hybrid Poetry Art Contest to be matched with a local visual artist and to be exhibited for a gallery show in September 2020. My newest collections, Riverever and Silence Begins Here will be available in 2020-2021.
