Here’s what some prestigious poets and critics have said about Toadlily Press and our
poets’ work:
“What a good idea: gather chapbook-sized collections from four excellent poets and print them
together as one book.” —Thomas Lux
“Let us salute Myrna Goodman, Maxine Silverman, Meredith Trede, and Jennifer Wallace, each
a member of a rare writer’s group that plays like a string quartet, their voices balanced, but utterly
individual, in this dashing new concept for a book of poems — authored by four hands.”
—Molly Peacock
“It is a brilliant idea to put together a festival of four different lyric voices. There
is just enough room to give the reader an idea of each poet’s range and sensibility…”
—Ilya Kaminsky
“The Fifth Voice reflects a leap forward for the press; the
gorgeously designed cover signifies a finely printed book. The four poets included are well-served by the
press and its delivery of poetry into the world.” —Julie Enszer
“This fine volume reminds us why Toadlily Press is a necessary presence in contemporary
poetry.”
—Suzanne Cleary

There is much to do to craft a memorable, affordable poetry book and send it out into the world. We
depend on volunteers, grants and donations from friends like you. Your donation of any amount will be greatly
appreciated by Toadlily Press and its growing community of poets and readers. Thank you.
