I displace the air as I walk
Marjorie Kanter

A magical interweb of wonderful inner feelings., November 15, 2005
Reviewer: Angel A. Amy-moreno (Boston, Massachusetts, USA)

Marjorie Kanter's, I Displace the Air as I Walk, has the ability to use words in their most basic and elemental meaning. Concise, poweful, and tingid with humor and irony. It is one of such very rare books that convey a very sophisticated, urbane, and intense understanding of the complexities of the human condition. Moreover, it is quite accesible and deeply personal, conveying a wonderful sense of our fragile but unique existential reality. Furthermore, you pick it up and you immediately find something that touches you.

I could smell the narrow streets, September 16, 2004
Reviewer: Al Gowan "Author, SANTIAGO RAG, ZAMORA'S TATTOO and FORT MOMMA" (Cambridge, MA)

Marjorie Kanter writes in a sparing, wry and whimsical style that moves anyone who
loves to travel and observe. Her verse evokes an "Aha" as we meet a Spaniard eating potato chips with knife and fork, encounter a disoriented Moroccan during Ramadan, and smile as a Boston girl applies confidence to her lips. Kanter has lived for years in each place she writes about, so with a few words she implies entire stories.

Wonderful collection of thought provoking literary pieces, September 16, 2004
Reviewer: I. J. Davis (Madrid, Spain)

This is a gem of a book that pulls together writings from Marjorie's travels around the world. She manages to draw the reader into her everyday world with an insight into events that for many would otherwise go unnoticed. Her understated and simple style masks a depth of understanding and she tackles complex, and at times controversial, issues with ease. Recommended reading for anyone looking to delve further into the world we live in and the dynamics behind social interaction and communication. Be prepared to smile often and be charmed!
