"This anthology is [. . .] one reader’s record of the long human need to make poetry. For no matter how distant in time those individuals have become, reading about that need, in both their own words and the words of others, keeps our relationship with them intimate and immediate." —Dawn Potter

She is the author of seven books of prose and poetry, most recently The Vagabond’s Bookshelf: A Reader’s Memoir.
