Laura Stott: “These are poems
of travel and travail, of losing one’s bearings but finding one’s way. In
short, they transform us—into crows and lizards, into sacred cows in a blue
city, into snakes or sea otters or sometimes stars. These poems invite and
entice. Do not lose your eyes, says one poem. Child, hold God in those hands,
says another. May we all grow so gently bold. May we all hold and keep
holding." —Lance Larsen
