Fresh Water: Women Writing on the Great Lakes [2006]
Michigan Notable Book of the Year!
“Edited by award-winning environmentalist Alison Swan, Fresh Water: Women Writing on the Great Lakes is an anthology of brief yet contemplative reflections upon the Great Lakes, all written by women. The essays are contemplative rather than scholarly in nature, dwelling upon emotion, history, the beauty of the Lakes and the need to preserve them. A deeply moving compilation filled with passion and respect for the spiritual bounty of nature.” –amazon.com reviewer
Contributing to this collection are renowned poets, essayists, and fiction writers, all of whom write about their own creative streams of consciousness, the fresh waters of the Great Lakes, and the region's many rivers: Loraine Anderson, Judith Arcana, Rachel Azima, Mary Blocksma, Gayle Boss, Sharon Dilworth, Beth Ann Fennelly, Linda Nemec Foster, Laura Kasischke, Janet Kauffman, Jacqueline Kolosov, Susan Laidlaw, Lisa Lenzo, Linda Loomis, Judith Minty, Anne-Marie Oomen, Rachael Perry, Susan Power, Donna Seaman, Heather Sellers, Gail Louise Siegel, Sue William Silverman, Diane Wakoski, and more.

Sweeping Beauty: Contemporary Women Poets Do Housework [2005]
Eighty poets write about real life. Includes Julia Alvarez, Margaret Atwood, Joy Harjo, Belle Waring, Sharon Olds, Sandra Cisneros, Jesse Lee Kercheval. My poem in this anthology is about doing the dishes, listening to Kitty Wells and the insistent, sweet, righteous beep that is Starcraft Online. While drinking a glass of wine. Edited by Pam Gemin and Julie King. Delicious. This book makes a perfect holiday present for anyone who has a house and prefers writing or sitting on the porch to cleaning.
