Reviews

I started writing reviews.  I wrote one on Tony Hoagland's The Art of Voice (2018) and on Mary Oliver's A Poetry Handbook (1994).  They are obviously not current enough, so I have not had luck placing them for publication, but they were wonderful reads.  I highly recommend them.  In addition, I reviewed a poetry collection entitled Plans for Sentences by Renee Gladman which was published in The Adroit Review's blog:   https://theadroitjournal.org/2022/04/28/a-review-of-renee-gladmans-plans-for-sentences/.  

Months ago, I took a risk (because someone could write a bad review) and sent my chapbook So I Will Remember to The Mom Egg Review (MER), a prestigious literary magazine and one that is on my bucket list for publication.  Mindy Kronenberg picked my book to review, and I am flattered and honored to have her praise.  Not only is her review written beautifully, but it it does just what I had hoped it would (sigh of relief): let people who have not read my chapbook know that it is good work.  Thank you MER and Thank you Mindy Kronenberg for the time and honor.  https://momeggreview.com/2022/07/14/so-i-will-remember-by-julene-waffle/
