Rosemarie Crupi Holz reviews The Glass Ship by Judy Wells in Feile-Festa: A Literary Arts Journal, Spring 2015, edited Frank Polizzi,

 “Is all that we see or seem but a dream within a dream?” the American Romantic poet, Edgar Allan Poe, hauntingly pondered as he sought answers to life’s mysteries. Irish American poet, Judy Wells, in her collection of prose poems, The Glass Ship, a multi-layered phantasmagoria of Technicolor dreams within dreams, is searching for answers too. Her nameless, lusty, irreverent narrator, an accomplished sailor, voyages alone on a small boat to fantastical worlds. Like Alice in Wonderland, she playfully and mischievously travels life’s looking glass, compelling us to join in her fun as she probes the serious and profound.”  Read more!

Naomi Lowinsky, poet, author, Jungian analyst reviews The Glass Ship by Judy Wells on her blog “The Sister from Below, When the Muse Gets Her Way.”  Feb. 21, 2015

“Judy Wells made a synchronistic appearance in Part I of this blog, when, lonely for companions in Poetry Land I wandered into a poetry reading where I thought I’d know no one. Judy, the featured reader, reminded me that we had an old connection—we had been in a consciousness–raising group together in the late ‘60s. Since hearing her funny provocative poetry that night—a lapsed Catholic’s thrust and parry at the nuns, the pieties, the absurdities of a Catholic education—I have loved her wit and exuberance. But the wind chimes of synchronicity really began pealing as I immersed myself in her latest book of poems, The Glass Ship.”  Read more!

Review of Judy Wells’s The Glass Ship by Cherise Wyneken in Galatea Resurrects #22, 5/2014 

 “The first chapter of Judy Wells’ new book of poems, The Glass Ship, published by Sugartown Publishing, is a spine tingling wave in her imagined ocean that invites one to turn the page and read on.  The magical cover by Sian MacQueen increases our desire to open the book and read. It is formatted in twenty-two chapters consisting of the introduction – THE GLASS SHIP, the twenty islands she visits, and home from the voyage, THE ISLAND OF EPITHALAMION.” Read more!
