Landing in Oz
Award winning poet, Nita Penfold's second full length book of poetry. Nita Penfold received her Master of Arts in Writing from Lesley University and her doctorate in ministry at Wisdom University. Her first full-length book, They Stand Up in Broken Shells, earned her the 2006 Writer's Digest International Self-Published Poetry Book Award. More information at: www.nitapenfold.com.About Landing in Oz: In this book of Nita Penfold's soulful and intrepid poetry, we find a contiguous series of luscious moments, inching us toward some greater light; here familiar or familial, there abstract. But more than that, in the germ of her impartial reverence for nature, we find answers that acknowledge then challenge grief - that venture beyond reason- toward genuine, legitimate joy. Leda Joandaughter, author of the novel, Tao of Love

Loreen Says
Nita Penfold identifies the poetry in a contemporary woman's life through relationships and passages, digging deep for the taste of the grit and honey in everyday life. These story poems collected from Nita Penfold's work are what the late Jennifer Bosveld, editor at Pudding House Publications, used to call "virtual journalism." Autobiographical with a heavy dose of poetic license, Penfold reveals the repercussions of relationship in all its forms through feisty Loreen and her EveryFriend, Dottie.
WomanPrayers
This rich blend of prayers, poems, and sayings by women writers and sages from around the world and throughout history offers daily inspiration and delight. Included in this collection are diverse voices ranging from the early Sufi mystic Rabia and the trailblazing Mechtild of Magdeburg, to contemporary poets Denise Levertov, Kathleen Norris, Maya Angelou, Jane Hirshfield, and Mary Oliver. These and many other treasures of women’s wisdom are gathered here from such wide-ranging sources as Celtic blessings, Native American petitions, and Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, Hindu, and Chinese prayers. An expert on spirituality with a remark-able eye for the best inspirational literature, Ford-Grabowsky includes in this collection prayers of praise, thanks, petition, mystical ecstasy, and insight. Her book explores self-discovery, mothering, inner strength, needs, work, gratefulness, spiritual darkness, mysti-cal experience, and love.
Our Mothers, Our Selves
Finally, we have an inclusive collection that brings motherhood into the fold of feminism. As we accede to our universal origins in the mother, we witness the infinite variety of experiences awarded the offspring. Spectrums of gender, race, age, religion, class, and nation give voice in Donnelly and Bernstein's anthology as more than 80 writers contribute poetry, essays, memoirs, and short fiction. Some of the artists are well-known, including Maya Angelou, Galway Kinnell, Marge Piercy, Margaret Atwood, and Robert Bly, while others are less known. All attest to the experience of motherhood as primal. Writing as mothers, as children to their mothers, and as close observers, women and men crea...

Claiming the Spirit Within
Brimming over with the inspirational words and thoughts of some of our finest writers, "Cries of the Spirit" is a beautiful sourcebook of poetry and prose in praise of life and all that it entails. Here women's voices fill the age-old silence about matters central to their experience-from menstruation, sexual intimacy, and childbirth to caretaking, household rituals, and death. These writings represent a healing vision of the sacred that emerges from the particular consciousness of women-a vision that partakes of the world of earth and flesh. With contributions by Maya Angelou, Julia Alvarez, Margaret Atwood, Hildegard of Bingen, Lucille Clifton, Annie Dillard, Joy Harjo, Erica Jong, Denise Levertov, Audre Lorde, Kathleen Norris, Marge Piercy, Starhawk, Eudora Welty, Alice Walker, and others.
