Fireweed: Poetry of Oregon is a bi-annual journal that highlights poets living in Oregon. The managing editor is Sydney Elliott, a former Fireweed editor and contributor. Featured readers will be contributors of the forthcoming Winter 2022 issue. Fireweed is one of Oregon’s longest running journals and began in print by Ann Staley, David Laing, and Erik Muller.
