Praise
"Best writing I've read by a living writer since who knows when."
Darrell Epp, poet, Sinners Dance, Imaginary Maps, After Hours
“This girl was born to write and she writes as well as I do.”
Crad Kilodney, writer, Putrid Scum, Shakespeare for White Trash
“The Astronaut’s Wife establishes Lorette C. Luzajic as a rising, multi-talented poet on the Canadian scene. Her insights into the heights and depths of our common human struggle to live out our own often-buried divinity hold the ring of authenticity and truth. Weep, laugh, enjoy!”
Tom Harpur, bestselling writer, Would You Believe?, Water into Wine
All around creative genius...Lorette, you are a superstar.”
Ariel Gore, author of Hip Mama, The End of Eve
“Imaginative, witty...surprising, profound, very human, touching, sassy.”
Thomas Moore, bestselling author, Care of the Soul, Soul Mates
“The Astronaut’s Wife treads holy ground, sometimes with holy rawness and sometimes with unholy eloquence. The last two stanzas open a whole other realm.”
Will Braun, editor, Geez Magazine
