READING RECOMMENDATION: PHYLLIS REILLY - INSTANT MEMORIES: FOUR POSES FOR A QUARTER

Recently had an opportunity to re-read (the late) CROTON RESIDENT PHYLLIS REILLY'S BOOK----Instant Memories: Four Poses for a Quarter
It's still available on Amazon----read more at:
Phyllis Reilly returned to writing after a ten-year absence in 2017 and started the Croton Writers' Group, a gathering place where writers could meet and share their writing. She is a late bloomer, and at 77, her quirky style and subject matter got editors’ attention. Her work has been published in a variety of literary magazines. Brooklyn born and raised, her stories reflect her childhood in the 1950s and are the backdrop for some surprisingly dark beautiful writing that is filled with vivid Imagery and descriptions that are as poetic as they are powerful. Her Irish wit is evident in her writing. Some of her stories are flat-out funny, while others reflect the absurd universe that was her child¬hood and are heart-wrenching and haunting. Her writing style is uniquely her own. A strong voice with a touch of the poet, her stories will stay with you long after you read them. There is an unflinching honesty about her work, and Erin, the central character in many of her stories, takes us on a unique journey into a world that is unforgettable.Phyllis lives in Croton-on-Hudson, NY, along the Croton River with her amazing husband, Vernon, and her devoted cat, Zoey. When she is not writing, she works with her writing group, reads, and puts fake flowers in her garden—the deer eat everything “It looks like a diorama at the Museum of Natural History.” “With old eyes you can’t tell the difference.” She loves spending time with her family and says, “In spite of this insane world, Life is Good.”
