Commentary on the Hamilton Stone Review

 

 

Comments on the West Virginia Issue, # 16:

From the West Virginia Writers, Inc. Newsletter:

The Hamilton Stone Review is part of a movement of small, independent publishers dedicated to distributing high quality fiction, poetry, and creative nonfiction. Their intent is to encourage writers, whether unpublished or established, by bringing their work to readers by way of this online literary magazine. For the latest issue, those of better judgment at this widely respected literary magazine have handed the reigns to author, teacher, and West Virginia expatriate, Meredith Sue Willis. She has gathered some of the best of the best of the mountain state to create 'The West Virginia Issue'.
Don't hesitate to download this to your computer, sit back, and enjoy the fruits of the children of these hills' labor. Enjoy! . . . and thank you Meredith Sue Willis!

James Cervantes in response to the West Virginia Issue (#16) sent a link to his poem set in the state.

 

Congratulations on the latest edition. It looks and reads wonderfully. The photography is truly beautiful and enhances the feel of the writing.

Other comments:

I love what you and other editors are building on the web in The Hamilton Stone Review -- range, depth, writing that takes chances, makes changes... I can't ask for more as reader and writer.
                                                                      -- Crag Hill, Moscow, Idaho

 

Eva Kollisch's "Stealing"  [HSR Issue # 7, Fall 2005] is a deeply penetrating story....The imaginary dialogue between the old lady, Lisa, and her school-age alter ego, Fev, spanning so many years of single life, gives a tender poignancy to the story. It's a feeling similar to what I felt towards the end of  Virginia Woolf's To the Lighthouse.   

                                                                               -- Lawrence Israel

 

"In the midst of all the world-madness Hamilton Stone Review is a mountain of sanity.     

                                                                                     --Hugh Fox
