“This is American poetry, and it doesn’t get any better than this. And if you don’t know what nature is but want to know, read this book.”             

—J.P. “Sandy” Seaton, translator, poet and professor emeritus, University of North Carolina.

“Here is a sure, durable, and unsentimental chorus of poems to love and landscape. When Lewandowski describes the hills of the Finger Lakes region of New York, ‘there are/ hills upon hills walking/ the day away in the woods’ he may be describing himself. Take this book by the hand.”

Bob Arnold, poet and publisher of Longhouse Books.

“Like Emerson and Thoreau, Stephen has the gift of sensing spiritual facts beneath the natural facts he sees so clearly and describes so exactly…. He brings us to place and somehow shows us the mystery there.”

—John Guzlowski, Eastern Illinois University.

“Steve Lewandowski’s poetry draws from the same sure quiet sources as the old Chinese poets of the T’ang Dynasty. His work is rooted in the earth of the Finger Lakes and his reverence for the soil would be appreciated by the Cayuga people.”

—Joseph Bruchac, writer and storytelling specializing in Indigenous people of the Americas.
