And Another Thing
It’s always a happy day when I can get my hands on the latest by Judith G. Wolf! Her latest volume of poetry—And Another Thing—may be my favorite yet. Filled with her signature wit, warmth, and honest introspection, Wolf always hits the mark. I’m left feeling seen, understood, and accepted. Who doesn’t need more of that? I highly recommend —as a gift for yourself and someone you care for.
— Barbara Hinski, Author
Long, lonely but not infrequent wisps of insight reveal the Author’s “stand back and watch” approach to many unspoken vagaries of life. Sometimes whimsical, sometimes “bone crushing” but all entertaining. She roots out many of life’s annoying little earwigs that beg to be addressed when we mentally retreat. While it has been said that “We don’t see things as they are, we see things as we are…” Dr. Wolf appears to see both.
— Karl Von Senden, Author and Screen Writer
It is a rare talent to expose life’s folly through a lens that casts both sadness and humor at the same time. The author shines a light on our shared humanity, revealing truths we often prefer not to see. The result is that curious emotional tension where we don’t know whether to laugh or cry—because the absurdities on the page are, in many ways, reflections of ourselves.
— Martin Simons, Journalist
Tidbits Again
Compelling and insightful – those thoughts you infrequently have during periods of alone. I entered the world of “Tidbits Again,” and I didn’t want to leave. Random moments of introspection, sadness, and hilarity are right on point in the lives we live – or don’t! Except, if you look closely, you can see the author peeking out from behind the point, musing on your response.

Well, Dr. Judy’s done it again – “Tidbits Again” is brilliant – made me laugh out loud, feel her loneliness and then know that she is OK. So I know that I can manage my own loneliness and I will be OK , too. And it is still OK to laugh! She shows that laughter is comfort. Her books are always handy – I can open to any page and talk to a friend.

It’s Not New Year’s Eve
Wolf’s highly visual observations filled with poignancy and wit, It’s Not New Year’s Eve is her strongest work yet. A journey down a road of bitterness and loneliness from a break-up, emerging on the other side – a place of healing, moving on and regaining one’s sense of self. So, so powerful!
“I found myself jotting down so many favorite phrases, Wolf’s keen observations and clever use of language in “It’s Not New Year’s Eve” hit me like a bullseye. Her descriptions of bitterness and self-doubt after a breakup felt like a laser leapt off the pages, connecting deep into my own memories. Grab a copy!

Otherwise: Poems About Life
Otherwise is a collection of poems composed in 2014 by Judith G. Wolf. Once started, you will not want to put down this compelling, metaphorically arresting collection of life insights, presented in artistic snippets that hook your attention. Every word carries impact, pace, and meaning. There is a realization that a part or even all of it applies to each of us. Dark, light, amusing, and always thought-provoking.
