Letters to the World
Letters to the World, edited Moira Richards, Rosemary Starace, Lesley Wheeler, is an anthology of poetry by members of the Wom-po (Women’s Poetry) Listserv (founded by Annie Finch). The anthology, which includes work from 258 poets from New Zealand to New York, was created entirely through internet collaboration. A volunteer editorial team shaped the project in cyberspace, from soliciting contributions to editing, arranging, proofreading, and finalizing the manuscript.
Letters to the World is available from Red Hen Press.

October Grass
The Other Voices International Project is made up of a small dedicated staff whose desire is to bring you the best poetry possible from around the world in the form of a cyber-anthology.

My six-poem contribution to this project, entitled October Grass, can be found by following the link.
