REVIEWS

"Widener's distinctive acrylic paintings in vivid colors and with exaggerated features further express the strength of this book."

 "Widener's exaggerated faces and rubbery-looking bodies are set in a picture plane of bright acrylics, where a bat or glove might
 pop out over the edge: a logo of ball and bats marks the innings of Alta's life. "By GRACE-ANNE DECANDIDO
