What other writer's say about Gary Gildner:
'His characters are aware of being alive, and when we read Gary
Gildner, we are, too.'
--Richard Goodman, The New York Times
'A beautiful book! Poet Gary Gildner is on the trail of many things:
the surprises of nature at his place in Idaho, the spirit of Slovakia
following the Velvet Revolution, the stagnation of bureaucracy, the
fresh words of his late-life daughter. Like one of Conrad's
narrators, Gildner senses both the elusiveness of his subject and
their kinship. His search proves compulsive, compelling, and
ultimately illuminating. The reader will want to follow.'
--Hunt Hawkins, author of The Domestic Life and
President of the Joseph Conrad Society
