Redemption
I liked Tumbling so much that I wanted to read all of McKinney-Whetstone's books - but I was prepared to dislike this one because of several reviews on this site. Surprise surprise! I liked it better than Tumbling. Sure, the beginning was slow, because she was setting up the perfect family situation, only to see it fall and rise again in a different way, including a totally different family in ...

Wanted to Stay on Cecil Street
The novel LEAVING CECIL STREET by Diane McKinney-Whetsone is set in Philadelphia in 1969 on a beautiful African-American neighborhood street. It was a joy meeting Joe, Louise, Shay, Alberta, Shawn, Neet, Deucie, and Brownie in the novel. Cecil Street and its inhabitants reminded me of the cohesiveness of the African American neighborhood in the past. This is when African American continued to ...

Remarkable!
A remarkable story of a family torn apart searching for forgivness. Whetstone is a gifted story teller, her characters are always well defined. I'm always transported to a place and time. A remarkable story that touches the heart.

BRILLIANT!
This was the first novel I've read by McKinney-Whetstone but it certainly won't be my last. What a beautiful novel; it actually reminded me of Toni Morrison's Jazz and any novelist who can conjure up images of Toni Morrison with only her FIRST attempt has got to be some kind of genius. Noon and Herbie love each other but have never been able to consummate their marriage due to a horrible secret ...

Was sad for the story to end...
It is rare that I can become so immersed in a book that I forget I am reading. However, this book allowed me to do just that. I was instantly tugged into the story during the first few pages and had a very difficult time putting it down. It is an easy read and also very moving. Mr Whetstone does a great job developing the charactes so that you identify well with them. I hated for the book to ...

Lorna Crozier

McClelland & Stewart, 2005

National-award-winning poet Lorna Crozier?s new collection of poems are peopled by the seasons and their elements, her beloved prairies, sorrow, joy, and the dead. Central to their themes are revisitations of family and marriage, and the land-death that is drought. Universal, deeply moving, crowded with breathtaking imagery, these are darkly resonant poems of middle age: alert to the beauty in loss, cherishing the humanity that is whetted on ...

His pieces were published regularly in New York?s Spirit of the Times, and he quickly achieved a reputation as one of the southwest?s ...

An overlooked treasure
The poems here are sensual, imagistic, and memorable. A fiercely independent, feminist outlook. A splendid debut that appeals to any lover of poetry!
