Pawn Shop of Coincidence
“Andrea Fry is able to meld the mundane and the profound in an unnerving, even chilling, way that is her own unique gift. With precise detail we see memories of her parents exposed, analyzed, and put on the shelf of the “linen closet” (of “I Have No Firsthand Experience of War”), safely stored but near at hand. Her ability to access and reveal the emotions of her past helps us to find our own ways back home.”
—Peggy Fox, President and Publisher Emerita, New Directions Publishing
Poisons & Antidotes
"These poems have their 'arrows of truth' aimed straight at you. They will reshape your thoughts. They may deepen your insights. With larger doses, your imagination may experience an expansion. You may feel yourself craving more and more of the poetic artistry of Andrea L. Fry. You’ve been warned."

The Bottle Diggers
“In her debut collection, 'The Bottle Diggers', Andrea Fry writes beautifully about the miracles in ordinary lives. Her language is fresh and compelling, as in the title poem, which sets the tone for the collection, and in poems such as ‘Sustenance’ and ‘Flask.’ In them she shows us how the observation of common objects from the past can illuminate our present and reveal our common humanity.”
