Reviews of The Delicacy and Strength of Lace


“This correspondence between Leslie Marmon Silko and James Wright in the late seventies remains a classic in epistolary literature. Like finely crafted lace kept as a story of beauty and struggle and passed between generations, these letters possess a liquid and elegant power.”
—JOY HARJO, from the introduction  

“[Wright and Silko] explore the catharsis of storytelling, the overwhelming power of words (‘how deeply we can touch each other with them,’ writes Silko), and the beauty of a gentle yet passionate friendship between like-minded souls.”
