This new anthology, the only collection of its kind, contains the poetry of 50 Maine women, of all ages, from all over the state, some well-known and widely published, others making their publishing debut, together creating a rich, varied, many-layered volume of contemporary poetry. The voices of these poets are strong, feisty, confident, intimate, and fearless.  Balancing Act 2 Contributors

“Some celebrate or exhilarate or laugh… Others rue or grieve, sounding the mysteries of loss. All of them remind us that we live not only on the surface – in the stuff of dailiness – we live wide and deep, in clouds, in bodies, in sediment, in fairy tales and family stories, in myth.”
