“This is a book crammed with images, explicit descriptions, characters and emotions. It needs to be read.”—Sara Claytor
“Alice Osborn’s After the Steaming Stops is a provocative family invocation—at once precisely journalistic and richly imagined. Nothing goes unnoticed. Osborn’s eye, and what it falls upon, is her enduring story, leavened with unflinching candor. These poems are wonderfully narrative, and cannily crafted, luring the reader in with their easy inviting gait. Yet beneath each tidy surface, trouble roils—trouble Osborn does not turn away from in language deceptive in its declarative set-up, and deadly in its ultimate knockout. These poems never stop steaming.”
—Joseph Bathanti

“Kudos to Alice Osborn for her Social Media expertise! I’m so glad I took her class at the NC Writers’ Network Fall 2009 Conference. Alice made it easy for us to follow with a PowerPoint presentation. She gave us practical how-to information and hands-on exercises. I came out of the class with a Profile write-up that I used for my Facebook page and a blog idea. Eighteen months later (I was writing my memoirs) it took me but a reading of her slide-by-slide hand-out to refresh my memory and get started. Also, Alice responded within 24 hours to my e-mail and gave me a great tip for my blog title. That’s the kind of teaching I call invaluable. Wouldn’t you?”
