From readers, fellow writers, and the audiences who've watched her poems and plays take the stage.
“Thea Iberall creates a shimmering bridge between matter and spirit, heart and head, poet and world.”

“The performance of We Did It For You was so outstanding and moving that I got goose bumps and cried. A performance in which each historical figure describes her own trials and accomplishments is so much better than just reading about the woman in a book.”
Lilly Ledbetter, namesake of the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act
“I started reading The Sanctuary of Artemis before I went to bed and got into the contexts and almost couldn't go to sleep. It is fabulous.”
Lillian Michelson

“Thea weaves personal anecdotes with history, insights, humor, magic, religion, science and culture — a role model for the perfect fusion of head and heart, intellect, emotion and passion.”

Sandra Elaine Scott, author of The Magical Day
