comments on mj’s poetry and newsletter
mj’s words touch lives
“Your writing and poetry is excellent mj. I explored your work and am impressed. I love the way you wrote about your husband…very moving and poignant and funny which is an unusual combination of talents. I am fascinated by the Nandria series description as well…and you have written a lot of books! Writers in the Grove and the events you create are truly creating community. Thank you for reaching out and congrats on the publication of CAGED! C. Hanlon, Oregon
“[MaryJane,] you’re amazing! No subject escapes your creative touch.” S.A., Oregon
“Truly exceptional. I read it and found my mind wandering many places, some joyful, some sad but all that contributed to my life.” J.M., B.C., Canada
“I love this. Please always keep sharing, you bring light into a world very much in need of it.” C.O., Oregon
“I am loving your poetry - as I read through, I recognize parts of your life and parts of the life that goes on for each and all of us. My favorite so far (and I will be rereading many more times) is ‘As He Lay’ [in Frail the Bridge]…very creative. Your poetry is deep and requires study and rereading - I really like that.” P.D., Oregon
“Good second issue.” F.B., N. Carolina
