After
Judith’s poems run like water, like wine, like blood through the veins of these times. They are verbs—inviting, involving, reverberating. They speak of the ugly in a language of beauty; narrate the terrors in a tone of triumph. There is not a woman who will not see herself here. Not a man who will not, if his heart is open, come closer to the light. These poems illumine, enrage, examine. If you wonder can it happen that your pain turns to wisdom, read these lines, feel these words—they are pathways back to the center of yourself.—Jan Phillips, author/artist/teacher.
