Reverberations from Fukushima: 50 Japanese Poets Speak Out
(Inkwater Press, 2014)
“Here, finally reaching our shore, the first wave of poems out of Fukushima: disaster in the first-person, no longer paraphrased, managed, or supposed. These are the voices that bring the experience closer than journalism ever could, that ask us to plant ourselves in the path of contamination, fear, betrayal. Our losses become all too real…”
~ Kathleen Flenniken, author of Plume

The Turquoise Bee and Other Love Poems
(Finishing Line Press, 2014)
“It’s refreshing to see a woman writing so freely and openly about love and about the physical body during romances. The Turquoise Bee is full of flowers and night-dancing, of time and loss and being enriched by experience. I cherish these poems. Stenson’s eye and concern of the intimate other is to be admired.”
~ Carl Adamshick, 2010 Winner of the Walt Whitman Award and 2012 Winner of the Oregon Book Award

Everywhere I Find Myself
(Turning Point Books, 2017)
“Eternity can be heard in the stir of the breeze, in the vineyards, the whisper of prayer,” the poet writes in Everywhere I Find Myself. The poems explore love, memory and deep loss with equal verve. With an artist’s sharp eye for detail and a philosophical world view Leah Stenson is a savvy traveler. Her wry wit, compassionate heart and spirit infuse this vivid, engaging collection.”
~ Marilyn Stablein, author of Climate of Extremes, Splitting Hard Ground, and Sleeping in Caves

Alive at the Center: Contemporary Poems from the Pacific Northwest
(Ooligan Press, 2013)
“Tart, sharp, unexpected, funny, sidelong, blunt, and gentle, with passages and line of startling power and pleasure. Personally, I would buy this in a trice for the sheer quality.”
~ Brian Doyle, author of Mink River
