Review
Maude Meehan's great gift to us all is the hard-earned and heartfelt wisdom of a life fully lived. -- James B. Houston, author of CONTINENTAL DRIFT
WASHING THE STONES, Maude Meehan's selected poems, is a moving tribute of a life well-loved, a love well-lived. -- Lucille Clifton, author of THE BOOK OF LIGHT and THE TERRIBLE STORIES
What is most singular and impressive to me about Meehan's poetry is the depth of its wisdom and maturity. -- Tillie Olsen, author of SILENCES
