Reviews
[Molly's] voice is made for radio-crisp and decided yet relaxed and just close enough, somehow-and the pieces all are impeccably shaped and written. John Updike Whenever the familiar theme music of Molly Fisk's weekly radio essay starts up, many of us in this town, for a few minutes, stop what we're doing and listen. About gardening or livestock, about the change of seasons or a birth or a death or just the visit of a metaphysical shiver, Molly has always noticed something in our lives that none of us may have thought about, and she attaches a little warmth or consolation, a little poignancy, certainly a little mirth, maybe a little awe.
