So real. Everyone can relate.

The Voice of Humanity 

By Catherine Ann Jones on November 20, 2016

Dana Macy’s moving collection of short, short stories, Fragments of a Fragmented Life, render in haiku prose the voice of humanity. The author turns a piercing and poignant look on what and who are all around us and all too often go unnoticed.

 A Book to Savor 

By Zoe Murdock on May 25, 2017

Dana Macy has an eye for detail and a profound sense of what is significant. Her words carried me deep into personal moments of her life experience, the colors, the smells, the patterns. The people that inhabit her stories are distinctively human and mostly kind, or maybe it’s that they’ve passed through the mind’s eye of a gentle person.

This writer has traveled far and wide, and her stories stir up memories from my own life. Places I’ve been. People I’ve seen. Things that I’ve learned along the way. It’s the kind of book you want to set by your bedside, or some other place where you can pick it up and read one, or two, or maybe three stories at time, then reflect on those and return later for a few more. It’s the kind of book you want to come back to again and again.

Real, Authentic, True

By Dr. Hans-Georg Türstig on May 22, 2017

Reading Dana Macy’s fragments leads me to and reminds me of my own fragmentation. But then the stories slowly rebuild in vivid and lucid images the awareness of my own fragmented life, and patterns occur in the fragments – from freefall to being blinded by light, from the holy man to the question: what exactly is a spiritual practice? Finally and suddenly all the fragments unite, like a kaleidoscope, into „a glimpse of our common humanness“ where I feel close to the author, familiar with each story, deeply involved in how each fragmented life evolves into Dana Macy’s final echo, a summary of sorts: „Listen my friend, and you will hear eternity.“ Real, authentic and true. Thank you so

much!

A Triumph of Brevity

ByAmazon Customer on January 4, 2017

This book was quite a surprise and I found myself greatly enjoying the micro chapters – the format in particular lent itself very well to my reading style. What was most enjoyable to me is that each story managed to be rich and detailed, despite being only a few paragraphs long. In one way, this invites the reader to fill in the finer details with their own experiences, which helps to develop an identification or ability to relate to each piece on a much greater level. At the very least I found myself envying some of the author’s experiences, while being very glad that I didn’t have to live through others.

Very well done indeed.

A GREAT INSPIRING GIFT FOR YOURSELF OR OTHERS

ByCarole Avila, Author on May 26, 2017

How lucky I was to come across this book! Dana Macy’s poetry left me open-mouthed, as if I heard my name for the first time. This is the type of writing every author–be it poet, fiction, non-fiction–struggles to achieve.
