Silvia Scheibli has served as judge for the 2017 Bitter Oleander Press Library of Poetry Book Award. In 2015 she was invited to Ecuador in a cultural exchange of poets between the United States and Ecuador touring and reciting in the Amazonas as well as Quito, Babajoyo and Guayaquil with Alan Britt and Steve Barfield. Besides publishing eight books of poems including, The Moon Rises in the Rattlesnake’s Mouth, by Bitter Oleander Press, Under the Loquat Tree in 2002 by Vida Publishing and Parabola Dreams co-authored with Alan Britt in 2013 by Bitter Oleander Press, she is the editor and publisher of Cypress Review and CypressBooks since 1980.
Graduate of the University of Tampa, Tampa, Florida, in the late 60’s she studied with Duane Locke, founder of the Immanentist Movement in poetry. Along with Paul Roth, Alan Britt, Steve Barfield and others, the Immanentist movement still thrives today in the United States, Europe and South America and everywhere where a visionary approach focuses on primordial nature similar to the surrealism and Deep Image poetry of Federico Garcia Lorca, Pablo Neruda, Karl Krolow and others. Immanentist poems are embedded with passion and inspiration and loved for their universal Duende qualities.
She has published poems in Cholla Needles, Osiris, Bitter Oleander, Ann Arbor Review, Black Moon, The Midwest Quarterly, The January Review and The Raw Seed Review among others. She is an enthusiastic photographer and birder living near the borderlands in southeast Arizona where jaguars, bobcats, coatimundi, white-tailed deer and javelina move freely.
