Author: Mary Willette Hughes
Reviews:
"I like how much these observant poems show us of a lived life. The world is very real for this poet, and she does not spare us dark, difficult moments among the tender and the celebratory. I like the firmness of the writing, the characteristic richness of detail, the overall immediacy of Mary Willette Hughes' vision of things."
– Michael Dennis Browne, author of Smoke from the Fires and You Won't Remember This
"In Quilt Pieces, readers are carried in a long, historical suite of poems by a narrator we quickly trust. Mary Willette Hughes has accomplished something difficult. She has honored generations of people from her own family, has written vividly about a particular, beautiful and occasionally harsh landscape, and has, with respect and passion, explored the largest of issues: religion, faith, death, and life. Here is a book written by a poet in love with language, a poet with extraordinary faith, a poet whose poems are worth our time and attention."
– Deborah Keenan, author of Happiness and The Only Window That Counts
"The poems in Quilt Pieces are journeys into poignant memories. Like monarch butterflies, they make their delicate passages to beautiful and painful places."

"Mary Willette Hughes's spiritual depth, her lucid full moon, luminous pulse gives us poem after poem 'intimate with earth,' steeped in the light of musical form. Quilt Pieces presents the bread of life, the salt of continuance. Taste the contours of love spun throughout the seasons on the shadowloom."
– Terry Linda Hauptman, painter, professor, and author of Rattle and Masquerading in Clover
