"This remarkable collection is as much a celebration of life as it is a poignant exploration of grief. Haltmaier’s poems are both lush and economical. Her images arrest us. Nature is everywhere, and we are constantly touching it with our fingertips and brushing against it with our cheeks. Watch out, reader! These ‘words with glossy berries’ will ‘lure you in’ and have ‘prickers to make you bleed.’ These poems will remake you and set you wandering among the fields, feeling fully alive."
~ Kristin Bock, award-winning author of Cloisters
"Haltmaier’s poems capture moments in time, fleeting and beautiful as a hummingbird’s flight. Blending the comic with the tragic, she explores the 'wreckage' of a relationship with the same clear eye as her poems about family life, its joys and sorrows, and about a natural world in which Haltmaier assumes the power to 'roll up the sky,' transporting it and her reader to a new and better place."
~ Claire Keyes, author of What Diamonds Can Do
