Wisconsin Eagle/10319616

MADISON, Wis. - WisconsinEagle -- Acclaimed Wisconsin poet Carrie Voigt Schonhoff announces the release of her highly anticipated third poetry collection, Shadow Work. Following the success of her earlier books, The Liminal Space and The End of the Beginning, Schonhoff continues her exploration of healing, resilience, and the inner landscapes that shape the human experience.

Shadow Work invites readers into a deeply reflective journey, embracing the hidden corners of self-discovery and transformation. Known for her evocative and intimate style, Schonhoff writes with honesty and tenderness, illuminating themes of love, loss, and rebirth.

Award-winning author Simon Van Booy praised the collection, stating, "There are poems in this collection so powerful, so penetrating, that reading them will transport you to those lost or secret rooms of your own life — as great poems always do."

Schonhoff will kick off her book tour this fall, with her launch party being held at Ruby Rose Gallery, 214 W Main Street, Cambridge, WI 53523, on Thursday, Nov. 6 at 6 p.m.
