Editorial Reviews
Review
"Jennifer Lagier's Where We Grew Up is a fearlessly honest account of her life. She has chronicled and processed the events that moved her from the child to the mature, conscientious and politicized woman. Her poetry is honest, direct and filled with compassion. Her love and understanding, her anger and realization that not all things are equal create a passion for justice. These are most evident and moving in her Vietnam and protest poems which are expressed with emotional depth and power. Her words flow effortlessly from one poem to another, and her with and sensibility are always present especially in her appreciation of where she lives, and how she lives, and with whom she lives."
---Ruth Daigon, past editor of Poets On -- From Ruth Daigon

Hidden Treasure,
By Oliver Fellguth (California, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Where We Grew Up (Paperback)
Absolutely wonderful! Sometimes lighthearted, often heart-wrenching, and always brutally honest, the rich imagery and powerful messages make "Where We Grew Up" a moving tribute to life, love and the human spirit. A must for any collection!
