VoiceCatcher 4
edited by: Jennifer Springsteen
The VoiceCatcher Collective was born in 2006. The fourth edition of the anthology, VoiceCatcher 4 released in October 2009, includes the work of over 40 Portland, Oregon area women writers reflecting a diversity of voice and genre. Some of these authors are established, award-winning writers, but many are new voices that have gone unheard until now. The VoiceCatcher Collective is a 100% volunteer-run, non-profit endeavor. We use the proceeds from the sales of the anthology to support the production of the book, and to provide writing workshop scholarships for local women. We identify individuals who have completed a workshop and are looking to continue to develop their writing but face barriers (economic and otherwise) to fully entering the literary community as recipients of these scholarships. VoiceCatcher 4 is available online at Powell's Books.

Published in respected e and print magazines such as New York's 'Skyline Magazine' 'Stirring', 'Suero' and 'The Critical Poet', Carole's poetry has been described as 'lush and often very sensual, with a style and grace that leaves a richness, like a fine, full flavour on the tongue of the mind'. A Dream of Isis is a voyage to many places, both physical and spiritual; taking inspiration from her native Yorkshire to far flung shores revisited in dream and memory.

wormwood, earth and honey
by Catherine Edmunds
Catherine's first poetry collection is accessible but never trivial: warm, earthy, intelligent, and -- just when you begin to snuggle into the intimacy of it -- spiked with fire and venom.
Small Poisons
by Catherine Edmunds
The contemporary novel for midsummer night's dreamers. With charm, wit and magical style, Catherine Edmunds conjures a fairy-tale for grownups, a fantasy with its feet firmly on the ground ... in a place where dreams and stark reality meet.

Hidden River
by Denis Garrison
Denis Garrison would easily be recognized for the outdoorsman that he is by his haiku. Words and phrases such as: “hidden river, plowed field, leafing orchards, hunger moon, old tin cup, rabbit spoor, river stones, bridle paths, spring-fed creek, woodpecker’s vibrato, fragrant hay bales, sparrow tracks in fresh snow, field of ripe pumpkins, scorched dirt, cowpies, frog song and fireflies, woodcutter’s cabin” and so forth, appear throughout his book. Denis skillfully gives readers a strong but pleasant taste of nature in this fine presentation via the many outstanding haiku found around every bend of his “Hidden River.” —an’ya, Editor of TSA Ribbons and moonset journal

A Chaos of Angels
edited by Lois P. Jones (Emusing) and Alice Pero
"There is No Gene for the Human Spirit." (Gattaca 1997). In a culture where biochemistry has become its own religion, spirituality is quietly being replaced by serotonin manipulation. Doctors, housewives, professors, write candid poems about life on and off meds. Works are contrasted with poems of the spirit--brilliant pronouncements of the deeper powers within. We hope this book will help raise awareness about the true nature of man and the importance of the spirit as a source of healing.

At the Tail End of Dusk
by Sergio Ortiz
Sergio Ortiz’s debut chapbook, At the Tail End of Dusk, is as much a celebration of place -— the Caribbean -— as the identity of a middle-aged gay man coming to grips with life, death, and love. Sergio's poems are street-wise and have a hard edge. They commemorate the imagination.

Death settled well
by S. Thomas Summers
“Summers' use of language is imaginative and his metaphors often powerful. Critics have called him a poet with range, focus, and brutal honesty. Poetry editors must agree with that assessment because his work has appeared in many journals. Summers writes of death and loss. That he does it with humor and clear-eyed compassion is a tribute to his skill as poet. This chapbook is exceptional and highly recommended." - Laurel Johnson, Midwest Book Review
