May Americans, sundered though we are, unite in the name of our great park and its river and drive the threat out.” –David James Duncan, author of The Brothers K and My Story as Told by Water

“A wonderful poetic ambassador for the birds … The seamless weaving of the human and natural makes these poems linger long after closing the book.” –Yu-Han Chao, Rose and Thorn Book Reviews
