The poems from On Phillips Creek are born from a place that no longer exists except in the writer’s heart, and perhaps they are made stronger for being so well kept within that private landscape. And yet, On Phillips Creek is utterly familiar, especi ...more

Numamushi by Mina Ikemoto Ghosh
"This is such a sad, hopeful, beautiful story about family and loss and self-loathing and love, and it ended exactly how I hoped it would. I'll read anything Ghosh writes from now on."
Denton and 4 other people liked Jan Priddy's review of Numamushi: A Fairy Tale:
Numamushi by Mina Ikemoto Ghosh
"Readers of the first two sentences who aren't enchanted don't deserve to read the rest of this fairy tale.

“There is always something to do. There are hungry people to feed, naked people to clothe, sick people to comfort and make well. And while I don't expect you to save the world I do think it's not asking too much for you to love those with whom you sleep, share the happiness of those whom you call friend, engage those among you who are visionary and remove from your life those who offer you depression, despair and disrespect.”
