"Things No Longer There evokes complex relationships between presence and absence; seeing, remembering, imagining, and desiring; perception and inspiration; and the lingering of the past in the present."—Barrie Thorne, University of California, Berkeley
"Susan Krieger’s book illustrates in a personal, reflective, and emotional way how the gradual erosion of interpersonal relationships and familiar environments requires great effort to maintain a sense of inner reality and balance. This book is beautifully written, with vivid, compelling images that stayed with me."—Esther Rothblum, University of Vermont
