"This collection of stories could have been entitled The Centrifugal Forces of Relationships. Michael Mirolla has stitched a network of characters connected by some fiber of association. Sister to sister, brother to brother, sister to brother, son to father and mother, daughter to father and mother, husband to wife, friend to friend: this intricate fabric of voices is intelligently woven into a complex pattern that will not shrink after repeated readings. Here is a writer who handles language like a master tailor his needle and thread. Lessons in Relationship Dyads is a colorful mosaic of men and women and the fears, desires, hatreds, and loves that darn their lives."
- Antonio D'Alfonso, award-winning poet, novelist and translator
"Lessons In Relationship Dyads exposes the emotional landscape of family, replete with landmines and oases. Together these stories have the power and mystery of poetry. They're jam-packed with imagery, insight and literary playfulness."
- Marianne Ackerman, author of the best-selling novel Jump
