"I met June Seese in a class on writing fiction. As a teacher, one
of my biggest kicks was that moment when the writers first read
something they'd written. It was a nervous time-many writers
shaking inside, for the first time showing their work to strangers,
sympathetic, but nonetheless, strangers. June was remarkable. What
has flowered since was already sturdy, strong distinct. She read
with a confidence that moved beyond the personal, a faith outside
herself in the certainty of her work. Here was a writer who had
risen to that essential power where her work becomes necessary to
her, a gift as sure and heedless as her pulse. She was right on
track, and would move, beyond discouragement or criticism or even
appreciation, into the strength, that difficult ease that's the
mark of a writer who will continue regardless, achieving an
undeniable, unmistakable voice.
What makes a writer? Originality, a delighted care for language,
a commitment to push words into new music and finally into pure
emotion. June has these gifts-and her writing's strengths-
toughness, speed, lyricism, observation acuity and, ultimately, a
compassion that's never unsteady, never weak-make her the best kind
of writer-impatient, hip, timely and transcending."
