Words on Night Ribbons by Cynthia Gallaher "Night Ribbons is some of the best-crafted and most thought-provoking poetry I've read." Rudolfo Anaya, author of Bless Me, Ultima "The poems are extremely engaging, especially for the feel of candid, intimate conversation she managed to hold onto line after line..In 'Popping Tar Bubbles,' the last stanza of the poem is perfectly crafted right down to the threatening Buicks." Michael Anania, author of The Red Menace "Cynthia Gallaher not only writes excellent poetry, she also has a special talent for interpreting her work before a live audience." Ella Jenkins, folksinger and storyteller "Her voice elucidates the strength of women as peacemakers who are full of instinct and insight...In 'The Last Father,' she gives us a glimpse into El Salvador more haunting than any journalistic view." Black River Review |
 Laurence Lieberman, author of The Osprey Suicides "Gallaher is an evolved poet, one who's capable of transcendence through use of persona, imagery and form--achieving that complexity called layering, the mark of a mature writer." Chris Swanberg, author of Slow Miracle "Gallaher is a master storyteller. She has a talent for fusing history with glimpses of her life, her womanhood, her essence." Ed Two-Rivers, recipient of the American Book Award and the Iron Eyes Cody Peace Prize "Gallaher finds the unusual in ordinary situations and in extraordinary ones. These poems are fresh, eye-opening. Cynthia Gallaher is a talented new poet!" Choice Magazine, ALA Where to purchase Night Ribbons
