  3. I love the piece by D. Ferrara. Besides being a daughter and a student in the 1970s, I love how compact her writing is. She has a canny ability to capture a vivid image in single sentence, and her language while tight is rich. I also feel the tension and the distance tightening like bindweed. I find myself lingering over a sentence to savor both her perspective and mine–though for me, it was Cat Stevens, not James Taylor.

  4. D Ferrrara’s story is fuIll of amazing and powerful surprises. I loved the end in particular. The characters are so distinctly drawn. The writing is both cinematic and literary.

  5. I really enjoyed D Ferrara’s story Lucille. It started low-key and then expanding into something deeply moving. I found it full of resonances that anyone of a certain age is bound to pick up on. It did what the best stories do – explored something universal through a deep immersion in the particular. This is a beautifully written and psychologically insightful tale of choices and regrets with a wonderfully redemptive ending.
