Eden Waters Press  

"Two things really strike you as you read this latest Eden Waters Press HOME anthology: 1.) Just how human and real all the poems about home are, and 2.) The stature and fame of the contributors. It's like a who's who of Boston-area poets who have ... given it to you straight from the heart. Other poems come from around the US and abroad. IHelen Bar-Lev, from Israel, writes in To Discover Home "An error of the Fates/ and you are born/ in a place alien to your soul.../ And then you chance to travel to a promised land/ where the sun glows gold/ the greens appeal/ flowers are perfection.../ food is ambrosia/ bodies speak your language."  

Hugh Fox, author of Way, Way off the Road, and other books.

"Skillfully edited by Anne Brudevold, HOME...Anthology is a confrontation with the meaning and measure of home. By turns whimsical, sweetly lyrical, and heartbreakingly poignant, poetry and prose by over three dozen authors combine to permit us to humor, cajole, and penetrate that elusive yet devastatingly important entry we call 'home.' HOME Anthology might just, as Robert Lowell beseeched, 'give/ us ... the warmth to live/ and face the household fire.'"

 

Tom Daley, poet, performance poet, illustrator, Online School of Poetry

"Eden Waters HOME Anthology featured names I recognized from the Boson small press scene and introduced me to more than a few talents whose works I'd not yet encountered ... HOME Anthology is a well put-together volume of memoirs==essays and poems==revolving around a common theme: home. The writing is solid, down to earth, and emotive. It's difficult to pick favorites from this slim yet copiously illustrated volume. My recommendation: Get yourself a copy of Eden Waters Press HOME Anthology."

 JOURNEY is not a mere anthology -- it's an excyclopedia of travel's means and ends that carries us to most of the continents and out into time and space -- a jewel box of sweet rid

Bert Stern, editor of "Off the Grid Press"

"JOURNEY) is a triumphal collection of fascinating paeans to journeys, both interior and worldly, personal and political -- and the line blurring at times as how often can the two be adequately separated? This one one of the many interesting questions we are left with after reading such a brave and distinguished collection." Lo Gallucio, from Ibbetsonpress@msn.com, Thursday July 2, 2009

For me this accomplished collection of poetry is like revisiting a group of old pals. I have known many of the poets presented here for years; I admire their attention to craft and their ability to see the world with a sense of humor.'
