"​This book occupies a tenuous place between illness and wellness, in the moments and years after insulin was discovered, making type 1 diabetes a survivable disease."  -Beyond Type 1

Letters to Banting on Beyond Type 1
​
“Honey & Blood, Blood & Honey is a brilliantly realized wedding of poetry, biology and biography. With open eyes and a brave imagination, Ms. Morgan has made a transformative sequence of poems that deserves a smart readership. It beautifully reaffirms that love is greater than fear." - Marvin Bell 


These poems bear witness to the duality of illness: both miraculous survival and tedious routine. The parent whose treatment lies in withholding, the physician whose cure is borne from death. But there is no question of love.”-Cynthia Marie Hoffman, author of Paper Doll Fetus: Poems

​Let Me Say This: A Dolly Parton Poetry Anthology offers 54 poets’ takes on often-unsung facets of this diamond in a rhinestone world—calling in Dolly’s impeccable comedic timing, her lyric mastery, her business acumen, and her Dollyverse advocacy. These poems remind us to be better and to do better, to subvert Dolly cliché, and they encourage us to weave Dolly metaphor into our own family lore. Within these pages, Dolly takes the stage and the dinner table; readers see the public Dolly of the silver screen and the private Dolly of identity contemplation. Dolly raises praise and question, and she butterflies into our hearts to unabashedly claim the mantra In Dolly We Trust.

​“
One imagined that the energy industry would find ways to dig deep enough and find forms of pressure strong enough to force the last crushed history of the earth’s vegetation up out of the earth, into refineries, and then into combustion engines, and then into the atmosphere, but most of us had not imagined they would do so by risking the pollution of the world’s deep aquifers, finding a way to foul air and water in a single technology. It requires a seismic response from the human imagination: this anthology is doing that work.” –Robert Hass, Poet Laureate of the United States from 1995 to 1997
