A reviewer of her 2020 book of prose poems, Lost Lagoon/lost in thought, observed: “her command of art and of language is that of a virtuoso.” A second edition of her memoir Bloodroot—Tracing the Untelling of Motherloss (with a new long essay by Warland) will be released in 2021. A mainstay for authors and writers in creative writing programs, the 2nd edition (with added material) of Breathing the Page—Reading the Act of Writing, will be published by Cormorant in 2022.
