From Anne-Marie Oomen, Michigan Author Award Winner: "With immense compassion and gentle humor, Scollon weaves these poems out of a love for the world and grief for its losses. Offering readers a fierce and close attention, she witnesses wonder, geraniums, love, turtles, and the tenderness we crave if we are human. . . . Without ever denying the terrible injustices of our time, but with a lyricism that is both quieting and piercing, these poems offer hope for our better selves, our kindest souls. Sometimes, they make me cry with their beauty."

Critical Reviews
"These poems are bathed in the light of homeplace and heart's desire."
-Thomas Lynch, National Book Award Finalist
"Teresa Scollon welcomes our vulnerabilities, one outcome of which, however much a long shot, is poetry . . . engages the dicey gravity of the real in poem after poem. She wears her honesty lightly. This is an outstanding collection."
-Baron Wormser, author of The History Hotel
"Teresa Scollon's poems are rooted. I say there's nothing more valuable in the world. You feel the fierce protective love for earth's creatures. And the care and skill and humor. It's all about seeing and being seen. . . . These poems matter."
-Fleda Brown, author of Flying Through a Hole in the Storm
