ALTOONA, Pa. — Todd Davis' eighth book of poems, “Ditch Memory: New & Selected Poems,” has been published by Michigan State University Press. The collection includes 30 new poems and selections from Davis' previous seven books.

Acclaimed environmental writer David James Duncan wrote the foreword for the book noting, "Few Americans take our unanimity with the other-than-human more seriously, or more literally — and Todd’s literalism is born of science."

An early review of the book is available in Poetry Magazine.

Davis is a professor of English and environmental studies at Penn State Altoona.
