"When I read Barry Lopez's collection I was awestruck by his beautiful sentences. He is a word musician whose best writing is inspirational. It makes me want to write and write - until maybe in 20 years or so I can come up with a good sentence or two myself. Barry sets the bar very high." — John (5 out of 5 stars)
