The Critics Have Been Kind

EK_Banshees_bookjacket_front_jhI 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 last night to the Florence Poets Reading.  Ten poets from the Pioneer Valley read an amazing variety of poems.  And the Invisible Fountain is a cutting edge gallery in Easthampton Eastworks.  Check it out for its unusual and affordable art.
