Boats for Women

Sandra Yannone's interest in the Titanic disaster of 1912 sparked a dialogue with Ireland, the island where Titanic was built and her last port of call (Cobh, formerly Queenstown), and with other international sites connected with the disaster. Her poems, book reviews, and articles about the intersections of poetry and social justice have appeared in numerous journals including Ploughshares, Prairie Schooner, Women's Review of Books, The Gay and Lesbian Review (Worldwide), Calyx, and Seattle Review. Her work has received the Academy of American Poets Prize and an AWP Intro Award. She earned her Ph.D. from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Currently, she is a Member of the Faculty at The Evergreen State College in Olympia, WA.
