"""Delicious. In Break Up Hair, Grace Richards gives us a scrumptious collection of verse that is at times sweet, savory, tangy, piquant, bitter, hearty and, oh my, even spicy. The 23 poems each offer unique reflections through many angles of light: reflective, refracted, prismed. A full cornucopia of emotive cuisine served warm on a literary salver. Bon Appétit."" -Theo Czuk, novelist & songsmith ""What becomes of a woman unloved? In Grace Richards' marvelous chapbook, Break-Up Hair, the woman blossoms. These poems, strewn with rose petals, orchids, lilies, and lavender, both delighted and inspired me. As the poet enjoins the reader in the powerful final poem, ""The Poet's Way"" Lift your fledgling wings and give voice/ to the verses, billowing in airy, sinuous designs/ like starlings in murmuration."" -Alexis Rhone Fancher, poetry editor, Cultural Daily ""Grace Richards' Break Up Hair is an introspective, illuminating book of verse containing heartache and memories, fantasy and facts, strong-willed assertions, and the many yearnings and turnings of love's revelations. I read straight through these wonderful verses, then went back and dove deeper. The author seems equally at ease when describing love's burning intensity or its crashing pain, and I related to some poems as if they were describing my own love experiences. A thoroughly enjoyable journey in 23 poems."" -C. Steven Blue, managing editor, Arrowcloud Press"
