T00 LATE TO BE A FORTUNE COOKIE WRITER
"A novelist has a specific poetic license which also applies to his own life." ~ Jerzi Kosinski
Marcy Heidish, award-winning author of seventeen books, fiction and non-fiction, is such a novelist with a "specific poetic license.”
Her work has been praised for its "lyrical grace" and so it is a special joy to present her first book of poetry. Ms. Heidish has written poems for decades.
With humor and humanity, this collection spans a broad range of subjects. Insight, wit and depth enliven these poems. They address universal concerns: maturity, mortality, memory and much more.
Ms. Heidish gives us an intimate glimpse into a writer's soul. Adept at varied verse forms, she amuses, reflects, recalls, and rejoices:
• "A watched pot never boils unless you're boiling vodka...."
• "Houses crowd my life like chairs on a November beach...."
• "The sun is a peach, half ripened, at hand...."
And the poet brings us with her.

Tencha Avila, Playwright, Amazon.com Book Reviewer: Brava Heidish, Marcy Heidish's poems in Too Late To Be A Fortune Cookie Writer are like little jewels, each with its own facets, depths and colors, by turns sparkling, reflective and pensive, set in a musical jewel box that sings with the poet's heart.
Sue Kennon, Amazon.com Book Reviewer: I am delighted that March Heidish has shared her poems in "Too Late to be a Fortune Cookie Writer." Like her previous work, her choice of words come alive in each poem. You are certain that Ms. Heidish is reflecting on both positive and negative times in her life. As I read her work, it is as though I can see her thoughts in a movie. "Too Late to be a Fortune Cookie Writer" so reflects her sensitivity that it makes me look at my own feelings. I hope there are more of Ms. Heidish's work in store for us all.
John Cerrone, Amazon.com Book Reviewer: A WONDERFUL ESCAPE. In her latest work, "Too Late To Be A Fortune Cookie Writer" Marcy Heidish reminds us that she not only has an extraordinary command of the English language and all its nuances, but also paints pictures that transport you to vivid and beautiful places. It is a true joy to go on the journey with her!
Kathy Jones, Amazon.com Book Reviewer: Poetry to Warm the Soul. Marcy Heidish's poetry gives us a charming visulazation and lyrical voice as she opens our eyes to places and feelings we recognize and takes us one step further. A memorable journey worth re-visiting often.
Carol Huffman, Amazon.com Book Reviewer: Elegant, readable, personal poems...a book to come back to, a treasure chest of thoughts, places and images from a complex life
Kathy of Denver, Amazon.com Book Reviewer: This poetry collection sings, and you'll want to read it again and again. Marcy Heidish puts together words in a lyrical and profoundly meaningful way. Her first poetry collection is astounding in its insight and starkly visual, as she takes you from her family to the places she's lived to her thoughts on growing older. I found myself going back to the book again and again to re-read passages. You'll want this on your desk or by your bedside. It will sing to you as only really good poetry can.
F. Peter Dolan, Amazon.com Book Reviewer: I am pleased to see Marcy Heidish has given us such an outstanding book of poetry. After twelve novels and praise for her "literary grace," this offering seems a natural progression. With humor and human sensitivity, Ms. Heidish deals honestly with such issues as maturing, mortality, and memory. TOO LATE TO BE A FORTUNE COOKIE is sure to amuse and to move us. Self-revelatory without confessional sentiment, Ms. Heidish shares her original "take" on life's challenges. As her publisher, I am proud of this new presentation.
