Special- Paul Belz

Bio

I’m a Chico writer who is very active in the local poetry scene. Pegasus Press in London recently published my chapbook SOMETIMES THE SOUL NEEDS CHOCOLATE: PANDEMIC ODES. These poems reflect the confusion, fear, and despair that I, like many people, felt during those chaotic times. I also had wistful, nostalgic, ironic, and funny thoughts and feelings.

I’m also an environmental educator and nature writer who’s lived in Chico for 7 years. A number of my poems have appeared in magazines, anthologies and on websites, and I won honorable mention in Chico News and Review’s poetry contest twice. Also, magazines and websites have shared my articles on environmental education, natural history, and travel. Anchor Books just published my book BIDWELL PARK: PERSONAL REFLECTIONS AND CASUAL CONVERSATIONS ABOUT CHICO’S CROWN JEWEL. I am also a hiker and camper, a world traveler, and a good vegetarian cook.
