“These superb and finely crafted poems give voice to women who lived through war, who cherished family, who wrote letters, who above all left a precious chronicle of their moment. And all against the backdrop of a beloved landscape. The true power of these poems is that they never settle for a lost world. Through lyric speech and searing detail, the poetry brings that world into our present, where it will remain in the reader’s memory for a long time.”

“Your book..I got it, read it, we talked about it, and admired it very much. It is a remarkable and memorable book. And assuming you won’t mind, we will pass this new copy on to our granddaughter, Virginia for ordering for our bookstore.”

“The Well proves that creative expression is a powerful tool in creating a sense of self and place beyond what genealogists and local historians can do. Mohr’s poems are not only a window into the past but also a deeply emotional means of transporting one there. To live momentarily in her world is to achieve an awareness of the human spirit that dwells in humble places.”
