Kathi is becoming a leading spokesperson for our time and why is this? Because she takes the taboo away from everything...she forgets what society does and does not want from the writer. She takes the world as an untold narrative and gives it the story it desperately needs. I love her
Grace Cavalieri
I am beginning to believe that Kathi Wolfe is the new Peter DeVries. Her brilliant humor surpasses anyone of her generation because it has CONTENT, FORM, and BEAUTY and from now on, my favorite color is corduroy.

Although I am the proud owner of this red Ferrari of all reviews, I wish to comment on Kathi's writing. I have always read Kathi's work anywhere I could, including Scene4. She is the best reviewer, and the best kind of reviewer. She works with many qualities: blazing intelligence and spiritual power are the first that come to mind, but the humor laced with compassion is her keynote. I copied the article in Scene4 to distribute and I regret that.I should have allowed the 50 readers to make their comments in this box instead of personally to me...comments of praise for Kathi's generous hand. The fact that Kathi is a poet of distinction and originality makes her qualified to talk about poetry. Thank you Scene4. I will not preempt the system again!

Kathi Wolfe's article about Grace Cavalieri's Anna Nicole poems is her best yet for this magazine, and that's saying something. Grace is one of our poetic national treasures, writing character poems as vivid and enthralling as the greatest fiction, and Kathi has captured masterfully both Grace's personality and her significance in the poetry world.

Kathi, thank you for seeing clearly Anna and Grace. Your vision is keen and your heart is tender. Bless you.

Nice work on the Salinger piece. Every young person I know was "forced" to read him in school, and ended up being surprised at how much they liked his work.

Kathi Wolfe, how do I love thee. You hit it out of the park with this one!

Yogi Berra isn't the usual poet, but you know what, his words stick in your mind. As a New Yorker, I claim him, and I'm delighted to see him celebrated by Kathi Wolfe.
Martha Gotwals
Kathi Wolfe's column on Yogi Berra presents the delightful spectacle of one American original paying tribute to another. In a perfect world, Kathi would be as famous as Yogi. But alas, in Yogi's words, "Even if this were a perfect world, it wouldn't be."
Miles David Moore
As a mystery fan and a classic movie fan, I love Nick and Nora Charles. And, as Kathi Wolfe has noted, they have a wonderful marriage. For me though, it's not the sexy happy nature of their marriage that appeals. It's the fact that they're so much fun. You just know, it would be a blast to spend time with them.

And like "Destry" she returns from the 'dust' of a bad shoot-out with fate... with her wry and poetic fast-draw intact. You won't want to miss Kathi's take on things mortal - For the Love of Heaven in the May issue. Welcome back to Life Among the Heffalumps, Kathi, we 'thumpers' missed you.
And in this last issue of our 10th year of publication, take some time with Michael Bettencourt's usual penetrating insights on the 'homelessness' of playwrights - Outrageous Fortune; Nathan Thomas' wise and enduring view on the 'business of show' - Sleeper Awake; Martin Challis' down-under head-turning commentary on 'the theatre of sports' - The Shared Experience along with the latest chapter of his serialized novel - Where Cedar Creek Falls ; and Les Marcott's down-to-earth, Texas-Hold 'Em view on 'private matters and public apologies - Apologist for the Unapologetic.
All inView in the May issue of Scene4, online May 1st... including reviews and insights of film, dance, books, opera, the Arts of Thailand by some of the best writers on the web. And top it off with a quick go-around with "The Old Hippy" - Memories That 'Chitter' the Heart'.
Year 11 begins in June!

SURELY one of the most important voices writing today. Humor and Intelligence. What a perfect marriage.
Grace Cavalieri
How brilliant is this writer. I think the New Yorker is going to steal her away from Scene4 and put her in a penthouse if we are not very effing vigilant. I swear, she is the best commentator alive!
Grace Cavalieri
Kathi Wolfe is a cultural critic and poet extraordinaire. But most of all, she is sweet and funny and compassionate. I am so glad she speaks for our times. She humanizes poetry, and is as funny as Joan RIvers many many times.
Grace Cavalieri
Is there anyone wittier, funnier, more in touch than Kathi? She makes nostalgia and cultural criticism like truffles and champagne. Here is a journalist who uses her sensuality to comment on society's lack of it...and her authenticity to point out that which is not genuine. America's Treasure is published in Scene4.
Grace Cavalieri
If there is anhyone who writes better than KATHI WOLFE, I do not know who that person might be.. Wit was revered by the metaphysical poets and it is renewed by this 21st century poet/pundit. Social Commentary and humor; wisdom and compassion; salt and hot pepper. It is all there. What others do you know who can boast such gifts? I love Kathi's work
Grace Cavalieri
Kathi captures the voice of our time--the idiom, the taste, the colloquialism. But that is not enough. It is her spin on it, her lustrous magic that makes all these things a tornado of throught and spirit. I love her writing.
Grace Cavalieri
Hey Kathi, I'll take the wisdom of Eeyore like "We can look for the North Pole, or we can play 'Here we go gathering Nuts in May'" over that of Michele Bachman who said, "We are running out of rich people in this country." She doesn't know her geography, history, science, sociology, demographics, and so how could anyone expect her to understand why gayness can't be prayed away. Pity that poor politician who thinks America is running out of millionaires. I'm lighting a candle for your birthday cake, close your eyes, and make a wish. Then let's go to the North Pole. We have too many nuts in May already!
Karren Alenier
Thank you, Kathi, for putting words around a common experience I and many other women have. I don't know why we think it's so important for girls to look like girls and boys to look like boys -- it's an unrealistic and constraining standard. And who gets to set the rules, anyway?
Josie Byzek
As usual, Kathi draws from her own experiences to illuminate the world we live in. It is not always ideal, but, through Kathi's eyes, it is clear, warm, filled with good humor and seen for what it is. A great gift given us.
Grace Cavalieri
Many thanks to Kathi Wolfe for her remembrance of Adrienne Rich and for her own sensory-provoking poetry. She's a wonderful writer.
