Praise for Lee Slonimsky
“If Pythagoras and Sappho had ever met, they might have written soulful poems like these to each other.” –
Anne Carson
“The sonnet turns out to be the perfect—maybe even the Platonic—form for Lee Slonimsky’s Pythagorean meditations…These variations on themes serve as an entrance into the philosopher’s mind, as if we are thinking and discovering along with him.” -- A. E. Stallings (2011 winner of the MacArthur Foundation “Genius Prize”:
Praise for Carol Goodman
“An excellent riff on And Then There Were None unfolds within a setting steeped in sinister mythology.... An absolutely perfect vacation read.” —Booklist (starred review)
“Goodman’s latest delivers a mash-up of Greek mythology and Agatha Christie’s classic mysteries, to delightful effect.”
—Library Journal (starred review)
“A fresh take on the classic Agatha Christie-style closed-circle island murder.... Goodman is our generation’s Christie!”
— John Copenhaver, award-winning author of Hall of Mirrors
