"Cesca Janece Waterfield writes the blues...Reading her book is like listening to a
great radio station in the middle of the night when you can't sleep - you know someone is singing for you and you are singing with her.
...pays witness to good love and bad love and what we mistake for love." -Denise Duhamel
"...a pitch-perfect reproduction of the fragmentary nature of memory... Gritty, desperate, passionate, and heartfelt, Bartab is a must-read...” -Small Press Reviews "Like a postmodern New Testament, this ballad is full of parables and the flesh of language, stretched and taut over a body of lyric." -Chad Faries, Savannah State University "...evocative new novel in poems..." -Philadelphia Stories “unfolds like a perfume, blasting with intoxicating top notes and settling into a low pulse of base notes…the collection's opening ...pulls the reader into the car in a whirlwind, early Springsteen-like…there are rest stops for sex, prayer, remembrance, and the gratitude and received wisdom of the survivor.” –Lisa A. Flowers, Vulgar Marsala Press Press for Cesca's Music: "...folky, only herself and her guitar. Her voice sounds folky too, but with a touch of the blues and the intensity of gospel. Her lyrics are downright stirring..." -Rootstown Magazine, Antwerp, Belgium |
