"Dodd is at her best when considering the interplay of presence and absence in the nature that surrounds us every day and somehow pulses in our being, is our being, whether we pay attention or not." —ISLE
“These poems are celebrations of the natural world, clear-eyed and musical and fine; and not a one-note song, for the human is the harmony as well as the eyes and ears. . . . These poems are lyrical, factual, beautiful.” —Betty Adcock, author of Slantwise and Walking Out: Poems
"This work has it all: lyrical meditations, dramatic monologues, histories, personal poems, love poems, elegies, deep imagery, and more. Overall, it is an impressive book in its intelligence, its skill and its heart." —Scott Minar, Ohioana Quarterly
