Review

PRAISE FOR SPUNKY GRANDMAS

1) I am deeply impressed with the poetic consistency of the sonnet form. Several caused me to chuckle out loud. The illustrations are also a "hoot."- Hal Cropp, producing artistic director, Commonweal Theatre Company

2) Finally! Poetry I can understand! With a bonus: It's hilarious! And an added perk: It not only makes sassy sense. it's actually intelligent! - Emilio DeGrazia, author, poet and founder of Great River Review literary magazine

3) Ken Mogren's sense of humor feels like the first warm breeze after a long winter. His quirky world view, deft turn of phrase, and courageous (and hilarious} use of the sonnet art from makes Spunky Grandmas and Other Amusing Characters a literary treasure. - Patrick Marek, publisher Winona Post
