“These are poems for every day. Lines to stir with your coffee, text to your sister. These are poems to read between dinner and dessert with friends at the table, a smile, a tear, and starting conversations that take you into wonder. Keep this treasure close to hand."
Christina Baldwin, author of several books, including her latest novel The Beekeeper's Question

“Janice O'Mahony's poems pull the thread of convention and bare the truth and foibles of our lives. Her wry wit honors both humans and their journeys."

"This is a remarkable first collection. O’Mahony’s strong voice in Raise Your Hand If You Hear My Voice evokes a world of dark and light, her pen does not sag and the reader eagerly anticipates the next poem and the next. Her imagery is disciplined, her phrasing simple but rich and elegant in economy.”
- Judith Adams, Washington Humanities Poet and author of six books of poetry
