What The Reviewers Say

Linda Legarde Grover,
The Star Tribune
... a collection of short essays as multilayered and majestic as the landscape that has been present in everything that Momaday has written.
Diego Báez,
Booklist
... a profound reflection on humanity’s relationship with its terrestrial home, the planet Earth. In this 'spiritual autobiography,' Momaday addresses his intimate, evolving relationship with the land in quick vignettes composed of disarmingly short paragraphs that depict moments big and small.

Kirkus
Momaday distills age-old wisdom from the elders who came before him into a concise book featuring chapters no more than a paragraph in length.

Publishers Weekly
... short but satisfying.
