comments on mj’s poetry and newsletter
“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

“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
