Deer Drink the Moon is a collection of work by poets from across the state. The publisher, PSU’s Ooligan Press, describes it as follows: “In this collection, thirty-three of Oregon’s most esteemed poets write about the state they call home. Arranged by eco-region and accompanied by maps, these ageless poems let readers travel the state with the poets, pausing at places of inspiration. Connection with nature and the importance of family are just two of the themes readers will find along they way.”
