Her previous works include another poetry book, Natural Forms<http://www.amazon.com/Natural-Forms-Dana-Sonnenschein/dp/1933456507/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1296090291&sr=8-1> (Word Press, 2006) and two prose poem chapbooks, Corvus<http://www.amazon.com/Corvus-Poems-Dana-Sonnenschein/dp/0974126810/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1296090291&sr=8-2> (winner of the Quentin R. Howard Prize, Wind, 2003) and No Angels But These<http://www.mainstreetrag.com/D_Sonnenshein.html> (Main Street Rag, 2005). Her poetry has appeared recently in Feminist Studies, Epoch, Lumberyard, and Silk Road.  Over the last two years, however, she's changed genres and written a novel about Lady Macbeth, enabled in part by residencies awarded by the Ragdale Artists Community and Vermont Studio Center.
