Chattanooga Spotlight: Ray Zimmerman in Bloomsbury Monday, January 19, 2009
Chattanooga poet Ray Zimmerman recently received an exciting mention in the Bloomsbury Review, a literary journal published out of Denver. Contributing editor Jeff Biggers writes,
“Chattanooga poet and environmentalist Ray Zimmerman also touches on some of these themes in his wonderful new chapbook, Searching for Cranes. Combining memoir and naturalist insights in his verse, Zimmerman reminds me of a Southern Edward Abbey and Terry Tempest Williams; many of his poems such as ‘Glen Falls Trail,’ probe the symbols that ‘have outlived the moment,’ and where our defense of nature is often a matter of bearing witness.”
You can find copies of Zimmerman’s chapbook at The Grapevine on Broad Street. Additionally, a selection of his work is available through Vine Street Press. You can also find a brief profile at the Chattanooga Writer’s Guild website.
