Responses to Revelations
on Longing Street
Louisa Loveridge Gallas helps me understand with every nerve
and molecule how the marvelous is interwoven with the humdrum
of day to day events. The goosebumps of truth awaken and revitalize
my sentient self: with word, cadence, image, I am reminded to
forego cynicism and simply celebrate this wild ride called the
human condition.
Louisa grooves on wit and wisdom, delighting with verbal riffs
that ride life’s rhythms. Whether she’s celebrating
the primordial ooze of mud, or looking straight on at love, longing,
friendship, familial disappointment, regret and death, Gallas’
poems and
stories are truly revelations. Elfrieda Abbe, Free-lance Writer
A writer capable of recognizing the profound human truths
and expressing them in language that is shimmering and fresh.
I marvel at the wisdom and vivacity of her voice. Carole Vopat,
Ph.D, Professor of English, University of Wisconsin-Parkside
Word magician, musician, dynamic performer, healer, community
activist, steward of a garden of delights, inspirational muse—her
gifts to us are many and diverse; I’m deeply pleased that
acollection of her poems is now among them. Harvey Taylor,
Poet and Musician
