Thank you so much for sharing your friend Miriam! I needed to hear her take on lunch as an only child…it was like reliving my parochial school days all over again…and a chance to “grow up” about something I had forgotten, yet needed to let go. What a blessing!  Leah

Miriam’s description of her mother’s steps into dementia are real, told in a light-hearted way which makes the underlying reality and changes over time in her mother’s cognitive abilities bearable, even funny. As a clinical associate in the field, a support group facilitator and caregiver educator I relish Miriam’s words and the pictures she paints so vividly. Cat

A …heartfelt thank you for coming out to Albuquerque and sharing your provocative one woman show: The Vestibule. [Y]our performance was captivating…I really admire your courage and creativity-in equal parts-to share personal observations and experiences and transform them for a universal message. It was a wonderful evening enjoyed by all. Phyllis

Miriam’s performance is gutsy. It takes guts to show emotion and to show a lot of yourself. Al

I’m anticipating the next performance already. You’re a master with words, content and charm. It was vivid, so present, and encouraging, because people can relate to the struggle, humor and life you are willing to expose. Karen

I thoroughly enjoyed your performance. You were courageous, entertaining, and poignant. Great show!!

Your creation and performance was spectacular! Thanks so much for putting it out to share! Cathy

“Both poetry and prose comprise this book (About Love: the bittersweet heart.) Even in her prose, Feder writes with the lyrical soul of a poet. Consider this from the prose piece called Passion: I enjoy this sweet, erotic, love-soaked slant on the fleeting light and last roses of fall. And I’m grateful to you for making me the lover I’ve always wanted to be: received; expansive and cherished. I’m surrounded by fountains of discovery and rediscovery; source and subject of so much passion.“

“Her stories explore life experiences common to most of us, but with an order of sensitivity in a near poetic voice that finds the extraordinary in the ordinary passages of one’s life.” From a feature article about Miriam’s live and pod cast performances, published in The Jewish Review October 1, 2007.
