In 2010, Carmen received the "Haiku Museum of Literature Award" from Frogpond, the journal of the Haiku Society of America. In 2010, The Moss at Tokeiji: A Sanctuary in Kamakura that Changed Women's Lives (1285-1902) was edited by Lidia Rozmus and Carmen Sterba and published by Deep North Press. Through poetry it tells the story of samurai women who feared for their lives and early modern women who escaped who needed protection. In Tacoma, she was one of the poets selected for In Tahoma's Shadow: Poems of the City of Destiny, 2009. The Moss at Tokeiji is available from Carmen. MORE INFO
