The Critics Have Been Kind
I had a few reviews of Banshees recently, and the critics have been kind. The Hampshire Gazette reviewed it today in Book Bag (Friday, Aug.7.) If you have a copy, take a look:
“Amherst author Eileen Kennedy has written widely over the years…She also had a special love for poetry, publishing in many journals. Her newest book, “Banshees,” features 19 of her poems, many of which explore the process of aging and death.”
–Steve Pfarrer
“Banshees contains the essence of many stories, and we fortunate readers are grateful for the experience.”
–Terry S. Johnson, author Coalescence
I am grateful for their generous words.
Thanks to All Who Came to the Jones Library and Play
Thanks to all those who came to the Poetry Reading last night at the Jones Library by Cheryl Fish and myself. We enjoyed the audience and had a great dinner at Vespa Osteria following.
A reminder that there is a wonderful site specific Emily Dickinson Play at the Homestead in Amherst running over the next few weeks. Tickets are tight, but you can still get on the wait list.
Poetry Reading
Cheryl J. Fish and I will be reading from our new books, Make It Funny, Make It Last (Belladonna) and Banshees (Flutter Press) on Thursday, July 23 at 6:30 p.m. at the Amherst Room of the Jones Library. Themes include aging, death, activism and love. I’d love to see you there.
Thank You and June Reading
Thank you to all who came and supported me for the book launch of Banshees. It was an amazing event. I’m fortunate in even having my local bookstore, Amherst Books, carrying my book.
Straw Dog is having a wonderful reading of new publications, Spring Treats, at the Smith Poetry Center on Saturday, June 13 from 4-6 pm. I will be reading with some amazing authors. Come and join us.
