Deena Metzger has been writing for fifty
years. Story is her medicine. She is the
author of many books, including most
recently, the novels La Negra y Blanca
(2012 PEN Oakland Josephine Miles
Award for Excellence in Literature), Feral;
Ruin and Beauty: New and Selected
Poems; Doors: A fiction for Jazz Horn;
Entering the Ghost River: Meditations on
the Theory and Practice of Healing; She
has just completed a first draft of a new
novel, A Rain of Night Birds. The novel
bears witness: climate change arises from
the same colonial mind that enacted genocide on the Native people of this county.
