Winner of the 1999 Backwaters Prize for a book-length manuscript of poetry. Greg Kuzma, Judge for this year's contest wrote "Five or six times I've encounterd voices such as hers-- that seem to me indispensible. All the virtues are here-- charity, compassion, honesty, tenderness, generosity of spirit. Each turns its facets flashing light as just the right moment. These are poems that will sustain us long into the next century.
