• The 2007 WILLA Award for Poetry (Women Writing the West).
Commented one judge: “The chronological ordering and selection of so
many poems with such a strong sense of place and history made me
understand how women’s lives in Minnesota have changed over time and in
what ways they remain the same, what is constant.”
Another judge
wrote: “The editors mined the rich resources of Minnesota and published
a collection of writing by insightful and eloquent women poets. To
Sing Along the Way is a sonorous collection with a wide range of voices
which will appeal to everyone.” The book is now in its third printing.

New Books October 2009
Fallibility, poems
Elizabeth Oness (Houston, MN)
"I am grateful for this beautiful book." Jeffrey Harrison
Friend Among Stones, poems
Maya Pindyck (Brooklyn, NY)
"The best advice re writing a poem is Emily Dickinson's: Tell the truth but tell it slant. Most poets try to do that, most of us fail. Maya Pindyck's poems very often find exactly the right slant, the right channel, the right wire, the right hypodermic--straight to the reader's heart!" Thomas Lux
When Love Was Clean Underwear, novel
Susan Barr-Toman (Philadelphia, PA)
“This novel captures the pulse of life—even when I put the book down and go about my day, I think about these characters. Barr-Toman writes with precision and wonderful humor about the human experience, and the need for forgiveness.” Elizabeth Cox
