Tidal Echoes

Meet our 2027 Featured Writer: Brian Palmer!

Brian has lived most of his life in the western portions of the United States, working a variety of jobs before setting into a career as a high school English teacher and Theater Director. Now retired, he enjoys spending time outside, where he’s exhilarated and inspired by nature. He also appreciates quiet hours reading, studying, and writing.

His recent poetry collections are Prairiehead and Living in the Now and Then.

We’re thrilled to feature Brian’s work in the 2027 issue of Tidal Echoes!

A reminder to writers: submissions for the 2027 issue are open through December 1. We’d love to read your work!
