    Theresa has a wonderfully expressive voice and these are extremely powerful poems; I shall be reviewing two collections of her work for SCP shortly and I look forward to sharing the joys I find on these pages. Of course, I was there with her at Bryant Park that day and she is a great person to work with too: a real professional. I hope she gets more recognition for her important work in the coming years.

        In addition to your powerful poetry, I have to mention your courage.
        To read an anti-abortion poem in Bryant Park is truly no small matter.

        Bravo, Theresa!

    Theresa,

    It’s only a matter of time before you are canonized. In the hearts of your auditors, this event has already happened.
