Blurbs, Press, & Reviews
The emotional world has seldom been better described in a book about other countries and a drive across our own; and, she takes a social conscience with her, along with a literary talent whipping poetry clean. The unfortunate do not go unnoticed: the waitress who gets rewarded at the end of the day with a beer — the black boy with his arms raised high in surrender. Hanadoe-Dosch is a natural born poet with a command of lyric power that’s impressive. It’s not easy to fold social progress into a view of the pyramids or a lonely street in New Orleans. “Being present” takes on new meaning with this woman’s skill set. She wraps ideas in a personal context so easily the words seem to write themselves into harmony.
—Grace Cavalieri, The Washington Independent Review of Books
