Shadow People begins far away and takes us on a journey home. We move from the Mendenhall Glacier in Alaska to the Redline in Boston. We begin among Yup'ik craftspeople, and travel toward the heart of family life, sometimes in painful memory, sometimes in loving recognition. We begin as observers but by the end of this book we have joined with Molly Watt in the dance of her life, and our own. ? Fred Marchant Author of Full Moon Boat & Director of The Poetry Center at Suffolk University

On Wings of Song... ... is a journey into the heart, the place of deep caring for the state of being human. Watt has written with the sincere and sympathetic hand to mark a path for the reader to return to the Civil Rights Era of the 50's and 60's, a history that never leaves us. As she writes, there is no time for fear. In the inscape of her journey we see the time for caring is now. These are gentle but sure lines of conviction, lines worthy of a standing applause. - Afaa M. Weaver, The Plum Flower Trilogy
