Readings and Performances

"...after the show, on the phone to his daughter, my friend said, ‘You’ve got to hear this woman (Donna Hanelin) sometime. She is incredible.’ You have gained a new fan, and made me, an old one, newly amazed at your expansiveness, your ability to make connections, your ability to be self-reflective but never self indulgent..."
—Carolyn Crane, KVMR Radio

"Throughout the years, Donna has read her work in Odyssey Books on numerous occasions, connecting with and inspiring her many listeners, and making the beauty and power of language reach across many different segments of the population."
—Julie Hiramatsu, founder and former owner, Odyssey Books
