Caroline Goodwin

Caroline Goodwin is a former Wallace Stegner Fellow in poetry at Stanford (1999- 2001). Her books are Custody of the Eyes (dancing girl press, 2019), The Paper Tree (Big Yes Press, 2017), Peregrine (Finishing Line Press, 2015), and Trapline (JackLeg Press, 2013). These three poems take their titles from a worldwide COVID-19 death count, the scientific and common names of a wild plant, and the date and time (Pacific Daylight time) of the death count. Each poem also repeats, three times, a line of text from the book Discovering Wild Plants: Alaska, Western Canada, The Northwest by Janice J, Schofield. Goodwin lives and teaches in the San Francisco Bay area.
