“Perfectly crafted. . . . [These] stories expand of their own accord, lingering in the mind the way intense light lingers in the retina.” —Los Angeles Times

“Powerful. . . . [Lopez] can steal your breath away.” —Minneapolis Tribune

“Richly allusive, moving, compassionate, these stories celebrate the web of nature that holds the world together.”
—The Philadelphia Inquirer

“An artist in language — a first-rate American writer. Lopez goes straight to the heart of the peculiar sensations, both physical and mental, known to all who have allowed themselves open communion with the land.” —Edward Abbey

“Flawless. As painstakingly crafted and as resonant as a good classical guitar.”
—The New York Times Book Review

“Lopez succeeds in awakening our fleeting yearnings and hidden feelings. This book should be savored for the force of its imagery and the magic of its prose.”
—Houston Chronicle
