What Mary Told Me

Poetry Chapbook: Of a Feather

" Nature in her writing reflects the quintessential rhythms of relationship: what we yearn for and what we fail to become. The ephemeral quality of longing rubs up against the enduring characteristics of something deeper. When DeBaise writes 'how ridiculously human/to think/we don't need/each other,' she acknowledges our deepest ecological interdependence where there is little distinction between what we are leaving and what we are woven into." 
                                               --Patrick Lawler

"Janine DeBaise's lovely, bittersweet poems tell of what happens when humans of a feather can't–or won't–be together. This is an elegant arc of a book: like a wishbone."
                                          --Ann Fisher-Wirth
