She co-edited the Ash Moon Anthology, Poems on Aging (Modern English Tanka Press). and most recently Creative Writing: An Introduction to Poetry and Fiction (St. Martin’s Press). She has served as president of the Haiku Society of America, and has edited Frogpond, the Society’s journal, and founded and edited the senryu journals Brussels Sprout and Prune Juice.
