Words for Women
26 poems by Lori Heninger
Words for Women is a collection of poems about reclaiming language. From the ancient Greeks’ Harpy and Medusa to today’s Housewife and Drama Queen, words with negative or sexualized connotations have been assigned to women and pejoratively used by people to diminish women and girls. Words for Women takes those terms and, through the sound, rhythm and intent of poems, demonstrates how they have been used and how they can be reclaimed as part of a journey to equity and wholeness.
Lori's poetry has also been published in PoetryXHunger, The Dillidoun Review, The Bangalore Review and others! Click here to see more!
Managing As Mission
Managing As Mission pushes the boundaries of what it means to be a nonprofit manager by making the case that managing as a reflection of the organizational mission—the cornerstone of any nonprofit—can bring about the change nonprofits were created to achieve: a better world for all. The book contains real-world examples, interview excerpts from nonprofit managers and directors, and a series of self-reflection and organization-wide tools to develop managers and managing as a mirror of the mission.

Outside/Inside/Outside
A collection of poems that aspires to be the love child of Dr. Seuss and Shel Silverstein, raised by Roald Dahl. It is oriented toward middle-grade readers, but also has appeal for children of all ages.
A few years ago, I became fascinated with the idea that there were times when things were outside other things, then they were inside those things, and then they were outside again. Like a leg that is outside of a pair of pants, then inside when one is wearing them, then outside when one takes them off.
“Outside/Inside/Outside” consists of 24 illustrated poems, and brings to life human and animal characters like Butterfat the cow, Raoul Ruiz the letter writer, Sir Aidan who is “the pasha of pants”, and Lucy Pig, the blue punk-rock swine.
