Born at the southern tip of the Salish Sea in Olympia, Washington, Frederick Livingston’s work in experiential education and peacebuilding has taken him across the world, from Peace Corps in rural Tanzania to the United Nation’s University for Peace in Costa Rica, and beyond.

Frederick is the author of the poetry collection “The Moon and Other Fruit’s”, along with numerous works found in literary magazines, scientific journals, and public spaces. He has been the featured poet of California Quarterly and nominated for several Pushcart and Best of the Net awards. His upcoming title, “Trees are Bridges to the Sky” won the Prism Prize for Climate Literature.

Rather than a diversion from a difficult world, Frederick sees poems of seeds of cultural change. Before we can reach for more fruitful futures, we must first imagine them.
