More about the readers
Madeline Tiger's new book of poems is The Atheist's Prayer. Alicia Ostriker says, "To read Madeline Tiger's poetry is like flowing with the river of life itself…Life, love and death are her subjects—not the abstractions but the details, and she gets the details right." Her most recent books of poems are The Earth Which Is All and Birds of Sorrow and Joy: New and Selected Poems, 1970–2000.

Barbara Joan Tiger Bass's new book of poems is Outcome of Sensation. Her poetry has been anthologized in Women's Ways of Leading and widely published in literary journals, including the Paterson Literary Review, Manzanita, and Sisyphus. She's also a playwright; her children's musical Kochka was performed in Sacramento and Davis, and her play Sessions received a staged reading in Berkeley.
