“The grace the Marathon tragedy exposed is the best of who we are. These beautiful poems will serve to remind me of that in years to come.” 

Governor Deval Patrick, Massachusetts   

"Each poem seems in part to be born of the previous poem and preparing to birth the next. In that, there is a harmony to this collection that beautifully captures the purpose in celebrating the unity of Bostonians... a great anthology."

"A book that makes a difference with each sale...that brings together pieces from a wide range of poets, from former Jersey City Poet Laureate Aaron Middlepoet Jackson to former U.S. Poet Laureate Robert Pinsky to Dickinson to Whitman. All proceeds from the book go to The One Fund... to assist victims of the Boston Marathon bombings and their families."

“The City of Boston has shown great strength, unity and determination these past months as they recover from the devastation that occurred on April 15th. I was proud to learn that so many individuals with ties to New Jersey have shown support to Boston during this difficult time.”

"This wonderful anthology...

I remember when I first opened the book I expected it to be sort of disaster like. I was really surprised and joyful to see that it was funny. A lot of good humor... very funny."
