Peggy Heinrich’s poetry has appeared in many magazines and in her seven books of poetry. Most recent is Forward Moving Shadows, her highly praised tanka memoir with photographs by John Bolivar, a companion piece to Peeling an Orange, a collection of her haiku with seasonal photo-graphs by Bolivar. An award-winning poet, her longer poems are collected in A Minefield of Etceteras.
