Here 'tis, the lowdown to date: Publicity St. Lawrence University Review by Albert Glover Aquarius Press Interview for Stone+Fist+Brick+Bone Praise for Motown Burning: "Motown Burning is raw,
the
emotions, powerful, and the images, brutal. The dialogue is coarse and gritty
and paints an uncompromising portrait of war. It is through this language and
Jeffire’s rich imagination that history comes to life." |

"It works. I don't often say that, but it has a drive and integrity that gives it credible life....I find a novel with heart." --Philip F. O'Connor, Pulitzer Prize nominee and former chair of the Pulitzer Jury "I am encouraging you
Detroit...get the book--great book."
Praise for Stone + Fist + Brick + Bone: "...a terrific one for our city." --Philip Levine, winner of the Pulitzer Prize “The poems of John
Jeffire are first magical and then harsh. They are never sentimental. The poet
re-creates a boyhood in the streets and alleys of an earlier --Rhoda Stamell, author of Detroit Stories |
