Poet Beatrix Gates worked on a long poem about early sources of astronomy. Her publication Dos (Finishing Line Press, 2014) was praised by Jan Heller Levi: “Beatrix Gates' Dos is the most moving, complex and important sequence of love poems I have read since Adrienne Rich's 1977 Twenty-One Love Poems.” Gates' book In the Open was a Lambda finalist, and Gates and Electa Arenal shared a Witter Bynner Translation Award for work on Jesús Aguado's The Poems of Vikram Babu (HOST). As librettist, Gates shared support with Anna Dembska from the NEA, LEF, and Davis Foundations for The Singing Bridge, which premiered at the Stonington Opera House. She has recent work in Anthem, The Beloit Poetry Journal, and Tupelo Quarterly.
