The Washtenaw County Women's Poetry Collective & Casserole Society (WCWPCCS) has been writing collaborative poems on and off since 2008. Publications include a full-length collection called The Feeling Is Mutual (2009) as well as two chapbooks, Exquisite Craps (2010) and The Old Heave Ho: Rejection Odes (2011). The group is currently working on a book of new poems.

Additional collaborators include Kendall Grady, Zoe Tuck, Maya Arthur, Kellen Braddock, Joshua Boucher, Allie Brooks, Mara Divis, Audra Puchalski, and Jeff Tenza.

“WHATEVER MAGIC IS MAKING THIS HAPPEN WITH THESE POETS, LET IT NEVER FUCKING END, PLEASE!”
—CAConrad

“Fresh, smart, reliable, often juxtaposing contemporary speech/ideas off legendary or historical. An individual always inside these larger worlds. Witty and grave. Pointed and flowing. These poems seem to be a way of living, or trying to live.”
—Sean Lovelace, HTMLGIANT
