The perfect gift—in any amount—with that personal touch of classic old world charm.
En route to her much-anticipated debut collection of poems, Swimming the Colorado (Empty Bowl), Nebraska-born Denise Banker has received numerous awards and honors, including the Gaffney/American Academy of Poets Award, the Louise VanSickle Award, and a guest fellowship from the Civitella Ranieri Foundation. Swimming the Colorado is a book of poems of and from life fully lived—love, loss, redemption mark the way, beautifully. "Denise Banker's poems have an uncanny ability to be at once soothing and rattling ..." – Meghan Daum. "Opening to these lifetime poems, I felt refreshed and touched keenly as well as humanly ..." – John Felstiner.
