My book of satire, parodies, and humor, *Why You Can't Go Home Again,* has been published by Kelsay Books and I'm chuffed beyond words! Here are the blurbs:
*Why You Can’t Go Home Again* by Terese Coe is buoyant, brilliant, and really very funny, but what I admire most, even beyond its formal mastery, is its sassy, chic sensibility. You will want two copies, you know, so you can read it again. --Greg Williamson
Terese Coe’s *Why You Can’t Go Home Again* is the perfect balm for painful times. It’s divertingly witty-- but it diverts in order to lead the reader to better routes for progress. Enjoy this book yourself, and think about giving it to a friend who needs its
healing qualities. --A.M. Juster
*Why You Can’t Go Home Again* is a book for our times. Always confident and often defiant, Coe’s voice sings in these formal poems, their rhymes and rhythms bringing so much life to the page, you may feel as if the poet is right behind you. Together, you watch a vibrant world go by with all its playfulness and tragedy. In this mix, Coe strikes a nerve, especially when addressing, in her words, “The new regime of give and take.” She knows that our world, now more than ever, requires our attention. We need voices as distinct and thoughtful as hers.
--Erica Dawson
