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 to the Jones Library and Play

Jones LibraryThanks 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.
