With an impeccable ear for the range of emotions in the human voice and for the music of language, she records this territory in a sensual and moving way. The remarkable accomplishment of this book is that it dwells so intimately on nature in all of its facets, even the making of art, that one emerges from it with the feeling of having been lifted into another realm--we see the miraculous and the supernatural right before our eyes.--John Skoyles' -- publisher.
