Advanced Praise
The January-February 2005 issue of the American Book Review calls Mary A. Koncel “…A prose poet of the first order, whose combination of dark humor and lyricism, world-weariness and wonder, not only avoids cynical retreat but also assures readers that allowing life to act upon them is the essential task at hand.”
