"Marian Kelner writes from a wide-open, all-embracing heart and shares her love of this world in poetry and prose." -- Ceacy Henderson, Columnist for Shelburne Falls Independent



"Marian Kelner writes from a wide-open, all-embracing heart and shares her love of this world in poetry and prose.  If you are moved by compassion and kindness for animals and the foibles of family-- if you can laugh at yourself and find humor in everyday ironies, if you strive to live fully in the walking and dreaming world -- then you will find a kindred spirit in these pages.  I know I have. "  
-- Ceacy Henderson, columnist for The Shelburne Falls Independent

"Opening Marian's Kelner's latest book is like opening a door to a down home banquet.  The stories, essays, and poems are savory offerings bursting with insight, wisdom, and wry, witty humor.  Dive in and enjoy!"
--Eve Brown-Waite, author of First Comes Love, The Comes Malaria

"Marian Kelner's writing always moves me.  From the gentle steadfast voice of Mouse the cat in the Letters series; to the counterbalance quietly woven through each piece, her writing stays with me long after I've put it down. Marian's voice is one which echoes deep like a canyon, and salves my oft conflicted human heart."
--Julie Payne Britton, memoirist and poet
