You will savor the insights and honesty of these poems. Particularly satisfying is this poet's knowledge of nature.-- Marjorie Saiser, author of The Track the Whales Make
The strength of Paschold's book lies in its poems that emphasize the interconnectedness of all living plants and creatures, including humans-a reality we don't often acknowledge.-- Twyla M. Hansen, Nebraska State Poet 2013-2018, Author of Feeding the Fire (2022 WSC Press)
