Thailand Journal: Poems. Topeka: Woodley, 2003. Kansas City Star Notable 
book of 2003. Kindle edition on Amazon $6. “Denise Low allows us to enter the world she describes in Thailand Journal: Poems by immersing us in sensual particulars as she details events as varied as the Chiang Mai Market at night with “celadon vases, silver flasks, and mother-of-pearl” or watching fighting cocks, water buffalo, or ibis-like birds on the highway to Chiang Rai. By weaving together history, music, dance and legend into her complex poems, Denise Low turns “air into living silk.” These moving and compassionate poems add richness to American culture by accessing lives of another people and creating a bridge all can cross. The music and wisdom of Low’s extraordinary poems linter first in the ear, but finally find their way to the heart.” Vivian Shipley, ed. Connecticut Review
Tulip Elegies: An Alchemy of Writing. Lawrence/Middletown CA: Penthe,1993. Tulip Elegies: An Alchemy of Writing is a remarkable set of interlocking poems and essays. They trace the alchemy of writing itself, as symbols and dream imagery reveal themselves. They begin with loss, when the writer’s father suffered a debilitating stroke. They travel through gardens, European alchemy, alphabets, calendars, and the writing process itself to assert faith in all expressions of human life.
