Women in a Golden State

Women in a Golden State: (co-edited with Chryss Yost) is an anthology of poems and micro-essays from women 60 and over across California, ranging from awarded Poets Laureate to emerging writers. The collection examines the mythology and reality of being a woman of a certain age, especially in youth-obsessed California, inviting its readers to reconsider aging not as an end, but as an ongoing journey—one filled with beauty, strength, and boundless possibilities.
