In addition to publishing seven works of poetry, she has written four novels, the most recent of which, "Channeling Mark Twain" (2007), about a women poet who teaches poetry at a women's detention facility, just as the author herself did and the perspectives she gains from the poetry her students write.

Her literary awards include the 1979 Alice Fay Di Castagnola Award of the Poetry Society of America and a Witter/Bynner Award from the Library of Congress.
