"Decades of life, and all that’s really changed is the breed of her dog. “Over Easy” is a collection of poems from a poet with decades of experience in the field, Marcia ZS. Ivans. As her second anthology of poetry, she wrote as apart of her healing process and her verse speaks right from her heart. “Over Easy” is inspiring and highly recommended. “The Small Smile”: From beyond your usually stoic face/A smile curls onto your lips/The glimmer of satisfaction/At the serenity I have found/After many years of revealing myself/To finally reach the discovery of my truth/And be able to smile too."

"New Vernon, New Jersey November 19, 2007:  Marcia Ivans has a new collection of poetry. Over Easy  will both delight readers and give them cause to reflect, definitely a gift from her heart. Beginning with reminiscences from childhood times, in Over Easy, the reader walks with Ivans through difficult relationships, the deaths of dear friends, on to personal growth and acceptance, and ends by sharing lighthearted humor about everyday situations.  Her honesty and wit ring true.  Marcia Ivans wastes no words in her writing and jumps right into the core of her feelings.  From the first poem, “Reflections,” she dares the reader to share the ride. Ivans’ first book of poetry, Yesterday, A Collection of Thoughts, was published in 1981, and re-released in 2003."
