Poetry
Her work has appeared in Ploughshares, Tin House, Yale Review, New England Review, Best New Poets, Southern Review, Harvard Review, and many other journals and anthologies. She has received awards and fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Pushcart Prize, the Bread Loaf Writers’ Conference, Yaddo, the MacDowell Colony, and others. Stein's work is lush and disturbing and often concerns her highly original take on nature or family history. Her stylish use of words is frequently in the service of creating moments of concentrated emotion or recollection.
