Reviews
These are poems to savor and ponder – and re-read over time. We encounter the challenges of the pandemic, we see the heroes on the battlefield – and in the hospitals. All this is expressed in language and images that capture and create true literary gems.
– Marilyn Bell: Formerly Director of Bennington Chamber Music Conference and Composers Forum of the East
Helen Leslie Sokolsky’s When We Had Orchards, When We Had Moonbeams is a reclamation of language as magic.
— Seth Jani, Editor, Seven CirclePress
Recalling a moment in the past, noticing “the curtained world of masks,” or being surprised by peace while doing the dishes, this poet gently consoles us, “holding on to what she doesn’t want to lose” and kindly sharing it.
— Rachel M. Brownstein, author of “Becoming a Heroine: Reading about Women in Novels”(1982)and “Why Jane Austen?” (2011)
Helen Sokolsky’s poems speak to the universal anxieties and fears that plague the human spirit.
