I'm beyond grateful and excited to share my third poetry book with you all. This recent work encompasses my last few years of traveling, learning, and new relationships. Thank you to everyone that inspired me. There is a piece of you throughout the pages of Shadow Work. Please see below for the distributed press release. I would appreciate you sharing this news with friends, family, colleagues, and any fans of poetry. --- Acclaimed Wisconsin poet Carrie Voigt Schonhoff announ

I’ve been quite busy and there are a lot of great changes going on in my life. Most importantly, I am almost done with my third book of poetry entitled, Shadow Work. I’m working with my editor Simon to put the finishing touches on it and then it’s off to the printer! My daughter Sydney has created a beautiful and enchanting cover again for this book. It’s really a dream I never thought I could dream to come true.
