"At times solemn, at times laugh out loud funny, and manages to come across as a serious work that doesn't take itself too seriously. A very satisfying and enjoyable read." ~ Tom Mahoney, An Imperfect Solitude "A feast of engaging narration that illustrates the absurdity of the human predicament, yet never disregards the reality of heartache. With a bit of wit, quirkiness, courage, and vulnerability all rolled into one, these poems tackle the matter of mortality." ~ Renee Podunovich, If There is a Center "A Petri dish of poems brimming with vulnerability, wonder, and permeability. Watch out, Stratton's red hot. She can do anything." ~ Laura Rodley, Your Left Front Wheel is Coming Loose
