Many thanks to my friend Frances Donovan for this new review on her website, GARDENOFWORDS.COM. We trained together for poet in residence certification a while back and sat together at Barbara Helfgott Hyett’s workshop table. I admire her poems and her sharp and curious mind.

It’s Never Too Late: A Conversation with Wendy Drexler, Author of Notes from the Column of Memory

Terrapin Books has nominated my crown of sonnets, “Burial of a Woman with the Blackened Shells of 86 Tortoises,” and SWWIM has nominated my poem “Apology to My Ovaries.” My thanks to Diane Lockward at Terrapin Books and to the editors of SWWIM. Both poems come from Notes from the Column of Memory.

My thanks to Peter Bates for his review. https://www.southfloridapoetryjournal.com/reviews.html

In Jacob Butlett’s wonderful review of my new book in the Atticus Review, he writes, “Readers will love Drexler’s polished craft choices,” and “Everyone should read Notes from the Column of Memory, especially those who appreciate poems with sensory-filled images and dramatic, personal pathos.” It’s gratifying when a reader gleans a truth a poem holds, one that I would not have been able to articulate: “Drexler ends the book on a remarkable note, indirectly inviting readers  . . . not to discount sorrow, a feeling that can precede personal growth.” Yes, and thanks to Jacob Butlett for extending this poem’s insight in a beautiful way.
