Enjoy this delightful new genre of wordplay. [said in exactly 7 words of course] -Prof. Steven Pinker, Harvard Univ.

Seven At The Sevens is for writers interested in building a successful and supportive literary community. -Princeton Univ. Alumni Magazine

If you love writing, this book will make you feel connected with a passionate & funny group of people who share your love. The illustrations are memorable, & sometimes haunting. The quotes from Hemingway & others will inspire you. Goes with Charlie Haden's American Dream. -American novelist Barry Eisler, San Francisco

A stroll down Charles Street in Beacon Hill feels like a step back in time-the 19th century, in fact. Stop at 77 Charles St. & you'll find yourself at The Sevens Pub, a historic establishment that opened in 1933. If it happens to be a Tuesday night at 7, you'll often see a group of writers huddled in the left window of the pub, discussing everything from Walt Whitman to the origin of the universe. They are WritersAnonymous. -Boston Globe

As you savor these succinct musings, you realize you do not need a lot of words to convey something poignant and powerful. It is above all the brevity of the language that is the engine that provides the inspiration that perhaps, will enable you to embrace the challenge with both trepidation and delight. -Publisher/Editor, Norman Goldman, Montreal

Due to this volume our campus book club is now a writers group. -Student*, Dartmouth Col.

On most good days, if we're not trying to suck the cerebral cortex out of some wannabe writer's eye sockets, at The Rag we like nothing more than the opportunity to vomit chunks on some new book. But this isn't the case with SEVENS AT THE SEVENS. Buy it & read it. -The Rag, Lower East Side NY

Did the Good Gray Ghost, Walt Whitman come back from the dead for a visit? Why the bleep should we care? At The Howl questioning the universe & your place in it is a bi-weekly re-occurrence (which, by the way, happens to coincide with the distribution of our paper) & it's a good thing. As for the Seven-Words, while they are brief & distilled they are diverse & speak volumes. -The Village Howl, Greenwich Village NY

WARNING: This book may cause, even jolt you to write. SEVENS AT THE SEVENS is a fun read & the Seven-Words are addicting. Read it. Get addicted. It's good for you & at this price, it's better than a new hat. Warby Parker frames & suspenders not included. -Hipster ChronicLAX, Los Angeles

Simply put, it's like Hemingway meets Kerouac & all hell breaks loose. In less desirable circles it's Hemingway meets Kerouac & a fight breaks out. Either way, it's uncommonly good. -The Spicy Pickle, Austin

This splendid book moves quickly at speed=c thus slowing time. -Grad. Stu*, Univ. of Oxford

In honor of this thoughtful anthology & its writers, we held our first ever box night at Grendel's Den, Harvard's quintessential cozy hangout. -Stu*, Harvard Univ.

Took this sleek book out to the old West End with friends. Kerouac wasn't there. We still took turns reading lines to discuss. What brilliant fun! -Stu*, Columbia Univ.

With SEVENS AT THE SEVENS, it is the reader who is in luck. -Author/Editor, Vivien Kooper, Los Angeles
