How nice to read Hawthorne. Renewing all those people, times, memories. A great exotic Guest Book.
-Joanne Kyger
Ellen Sander’s Hawthorne, a House in Bolinas is a passionate and compelling synthesis of memory, love, and affinity between the artist and nature that reaffirms the verse epyllion as the vehicle of choice for the lyric poet.
-Dean A. Hoffman, PhD., University of North Carolina at Charlotte.
Ellen Sander’s lyrical cartography of the community of Bolinas, California is a “luminous silver ribbon” of a memoir replete with “the beauty of ordinary moments / with extraordinary beings.” Hawthorne is an unforgettable, intricate set of portraits of individuals who collectively bestowed the lingering gallantry of their youthful ideals on a passageway home of verse and song. Out of these poems will the history that matters find a definitive account that gives us both winsome pleasure and exquisite solace.
-Bill Mohr, author of Holdouts: The Los Angeles Poetry Renaissance 1948-1992
