"The allusiveness and artistry of Anne Kellas's work is encyclopaedic. Ways to Say Goodbye creates a golden world of mature, wise, compassionate poems which meditate on the gulf between 'never' and 'eternity.' This book is a gift to her readers ..."

"... a collection of individual works to shake the soul and mind and reveal the glory of a poet writing of the redemptive power of her art... This is the poetry of heartbreak and loneliness, leavened only by consummate craft." – Michael Sharkey

"Conceive a world in which one is woken by silence, where Gruffalos hunt, where the moon is at half past day, where the light is starving, and where a dark river speaks to you. That's Anne Kellas's world in "Ways To Say Goodbye ...
