"I am so happy for this exploration which digs deep into the cracks between what we are and what we are supposed to be. Mr. Patterson, with all his love for play and invention, never forgets the serious tug of our painful history. Rather, he celebrates it by giving words to its complex and brilliant evolution." —Toi Derricotte

"Grace Dane Mazur's new novel, Trespass, burrows magically under the skin and takes up permanent residence there until the last page is read." —Richard Russo

"Deeply felt and bitingly precise. The author's dual professions of farmer and poet give the stories two gifts: an intimate, gritty sense of life on the land and a skill with language that amounts to alchemy." —Anne Tyler

Lawnboy is, quite simply, the real thing, a novel of mystery and great beauty.”—Michael Cunningham

The poems in Except by Nature are full of the riches and the risks, the words and the contemplations of the earth, and the place of the human within those realms." —Pattiann Rogers
