We’re excited to welcome Wisconsin poet Joan Wiese Johannes to Water’s Edge Press. We will publish her collected poems Lamenting My Failure to Learn How to Tap Dance: And Other Missteps in fall of 2023. Johannes is a member of Wisconsin Fellowship of Poets and is well known through her many previous publications, her work with poets and poetry, as well as numerous awards. Read her bio on our authors page.
About this new collection, Lisa Vihos, poet laureate of Sheboygan, WI says “Johannes guides us through the missteps of youth, adulthood, and old age, culminating in being “on the right foot.” This collection will leave you “yearning to step out on that proverbial limb” with the poet, who gives us daring movement in every poem.”
