"""Philosophically rigorous, narratively rich, and a pleasure to read and reread."" —Nina Schuyler, The Millions ""A richly innovative book. The quest for authenticity in motherhood, sexuality, and tenancy on the earth and in the home, as well as the unusual lyric form, make the novel unified in spirit yet transdisciplinary in approach."" —Anne McGrath, Bomb Magazine"
