A couple of weeks ago, a poem with an intriguing title caught our eye. We were scanning the website of Desert Companion magazine. The poem had a catchy title. “Paradise, Nevada.”
We wanted to find out more, and we did.
Heather moved from Seattle to Las Vegas a few month ago. She teaches writing at Nevada State College, and is an editor for “The Literary Review,” which is published at her alma mater, Fairleigh Dickinson University in New Jersey. She also does literary translation. She translates Mandarin Chinese into English.
We asked Heather to stop by the KNPR studios to talk about her poem.
From Desert Companion: "Betting on the Fight": a poem by Heather Lang

You won’t find a paywall here. Come as often as you like — we’re not counting. You’ve found a like-minded tribe that cherishes what a free press stands for. If you can spend another couple of minutes making a pledge of as little as $5, you’ll feel like a superhero defending democracy for less than the cost of a month of Netflix.
