I couldn’t put down MARCH, BEFORE SPRING. Then I read it again. Each page
is touching and intimate. I found the poetry to be comforting and healing.
-- Ellen Surburg, RN, CRNH, Director of Hospice of Bloomington Hospital


With heartbreak and humor Stephanie Mendel uses her unique poetic power
to offer consolation to those who are grieving.

-- Mary Taverna, President of The Hospice of Marin Foundation


I love this spare, lush, beautiful, aching book of poems. An absolutely lovely
collection, it blew me away, right into a woman's heart, hope, grief, and love.

-- Anne Lamott, best selling author
