Okay I’ll say it- this book might have been the most beautiful prose I’ve ever read. It took me weeks to read this tiny book, because I reread most sentences. Each time I put it down, I returned to restart the section because I didn’t want to miss a word. Surely one to read every few years.

What was so majestic about it? Hogan paints this book as if putting brush to canvas- her intensely beautiful way of looking at the living world is awe-inspiring- from the clay pot, to the bird of pray, to the maggots eating a deceased animal and moving along the circle of life.

She is staunch in her love of all things and it is healing to join her mystical perspective.

I can’t recommend this book highly enough. Linda Hogan certainly enters my scope of favorite writers as she matches the beautiful intensity of Robin Wall-Kimmerer and Mary Oliver.
