"Scalise's poems sing of living/dying in the voices of the grieved, mutilated & those left behind. There is impossible beauty streaked throughout her poignant verses of fading hope and unanswered pleas. Survivors battle in a war that continues long after others have moved on. In the end, it's life-affirming to know our silent tears are heard, we aren't alone." --Linda D. Addison, award-winning author of "How to Recognize a Demon Has Become Your Friend" and HWA Lifetime Achievement Award winner"Dragonfly is not only unique in writing and imagination, but the pain floated off the pages... not in an only-depressing way, but in a weirdly mind-opening way that allowed me into her thoughts, gave me a deep ability to relate myself to her words, as well as feel empathy for the damp grief of these poems that comes from a tight and sorrowed heart longing for peace, reprieve, and wholeness again." --Wendy Rathbone, award winning poet and novelist
