Thanks for browsing my books. You can read more poems by me at http://joannbalingit.org/poems-online/

Right now I'm at work on a series of poems about redefining love--as loved ones grow up, grow away, or grow old. I am also at work on a memoir I began to revise at the 2017 Voices of Our Nation conference (VONA) for writers of color.

New poems appear in RHINO 2016, The Rumpus, Poemeleon, Academy of American Poets, Valllum Magazine and the forthcoming anthology Challenges for the Delusional: Part II!

Updates: Words For House Story was named a "Best Books of 2015" selection at Beltway Poetry Quarterly and was an October 2015 "Best Dressed Book" selection at Sundress Publications blog, The Wardrobe. Poems from Words For House Story have been featured at www.VerseDaily.com and www.PoetryOutLoud.org
