Colleen Saffron’s debut collection of Voices recombines biography and fiction, historical and mimetic impulses, that are both sincere and intelligent. She tells the stories of women whose voices are often buried in the attics, antique shops, and forgotten by our own nostalgic re-imaginings. Saffron knows the difference between nostalgia and history—and she weaves together tales we will not soon forget.—Heather Chandler, Professor of English and Women’s StudiesI devoured Voices. Saffron is a natural. A conjurer. Her writing is rooted in empathy and sensual specificity that transports you — puts you in the room with each of these beautifully haunted and resilient women whom, after spending their lives and deaths in erasure, come into full definition with all of their wrinkles, scars and broken places.- Andrea Ciannavei, TV Writer, Producer and Professor of Television and Dramatic Writing Participating in Historic Re-enactments, I am accustomed to donning the outer trappings of women of past eras and portraying them. Reading Colleen Saffron’s Voices is experiencing that past in a more intimate way. Forgotten, overlooked and discarded pictures become emotional, heartfelt tales of the truths of those days and the problems women of today still struggle against. In a few well worded paragraphs Ms. Saffron has laid bare women’s souls in a hauntingly memorable way. Bravo!—Anna T.Colleen Saffon’s Voices is a haunting tour de force that echoes true and fiercely in the reader’s mind and heart. With finesse and sensitivity, Saffron calls forth whispers of stories from faded images, perhaps never uttered in real life, but now sensed by hidden currents of sisterhood, to reveal unapologetic and unyielding secrets and longings of strong hearts that endured. A profound sense of truth is here, leading us to embrace such wounds seen today, to stem and heal those who yet walk in their footsteps, no matter where they are or what their skin color.Remember.—Joy Sullivan, Lightpath Healing
