"CALYX is an aesthetic pleasure to hold and to look at, as well as to read and remember."—Robin Morgan

"TERRIFIC, rich, inspired, inspiring."—Olga Broumas

"Thank you for all your good and beautiful work."—Gloria Steinem

"CALYX holds a special place in my heart. Some of my very first published words—two poems—were published in CALYX years ago. I've never forgotten the thrill of turning those beautifully illustrated pages and seeing my name, my earnest words, printed there alongside those of some of my literary heroines. It made me feel as if I belonged to the important company of women."—Barbara Kingsolver

"...devoted to the very best art and literature of the contemporary woman."—Literary Magazine Review

"The work you do brings dignity, intelligence, and a sense of wholeness to the world."—Barry Lopez
