Lucy Plays Panpipes for Peace, a novel by Lynette YetterI just finished "Lucy" and am impressed. It is so easy to read that quite a few pages go by before I notice I've been reading awhile.The greatest strength of the book is its forthright, straightforward language and purpose. The stories are clearly told, and are rounded and interesting. I enjoyed it all, and certainly hope a paper edition goes strongly. I hope our personal endings work as well as you propose for Lucy.
- Lewis Ellingham, author of Poet be like God: Jack Spicer and the San Francisco renaissance, and The Birds and other poems


But damn, Lynette, your writing trips beautifully, like wandering through a bird song filled garden.
- Paul Barnett, author of Sergio's Clock

Lynette -

My husband now thinks that your are a musical genius. I tell everyone I meet about your video and book. I gave the information to a depressed California schoolteacher as a way to boost her spirits. I sang the chorus all day (of the song Nam Myoho Renge Kyo). Having contact with you has lifted my spirits in the cold, lonely Sado Island-like place where I work weird hours and have no social life because of work that needs to be done on the house. Thank you for being there. - Kathy
 
Oh dear Kathy, your words lift MY spirits! :) We truly need each other. Thank you, my friend. :) - Lynette

Ahorra mi esposo piensa que tu eres un genio musical. Yo paso la voz a todo el mundo sobre tu video y libro. Yo di la informaciòn a una profesora de California que fue deprimida para animarle. Yo cantè el coro todo el dìa (de la canciòn Nam Myoho Renge Kyo). Estar en contacto contigo ha leventado mi animo, en el lugar donde yo trabajo que parece muy frio y solo como la Isla del Sado. Trabajo turnos muy estraños y no tengo una vida social por que del trabajo que tenemos que hacer en la casa. Gracias por estar presente. - Kathy

O querida Kathy, tus palabras levanta a MI ánimo! Es verdad que necesitamos una y otra. Muchísimas gracias, amiga mia. :) - Lynette

I have often thought about you andLucy Plays Panpipes for Peace, a novel by Lynette Yetter your genuine love for our music and our people.  In many respects, you are an inspiration to me!  You walk the talk, and live in accordance with your beliefs.
