She's also the author of two chapbooks, City of Ports and Lapsus Linguae, both from Situations Press, and has a new chapbook forthcoming this winter, The Geometrics, from BeautifulSwimmer Press. She is currently co-editing, with Olivier Brossard and
Kristin Prevallet, an anthology of contemporary French poetry from May 1968 to the present, to be published by Talisman House in 2003. She's also the poetry editor of Erato press, which just published an anthology of art and poetry inspired by Italo
Calvino's book, Invisible Cities.
