Professional Reviews Welty, Eudora, New York Times Book Review: "The book is a form of meditation, written with headlong urgency, about seeing....A reader's heart must go out to a young writer with a sense of wonder so fearless and unbridled....There is an ambition about her book that I like....It is the ambition to feel....[But] I honestly do not know what she is talking about at...times."

Muskrats and Water Strider Parades and Ripples on Tinker Creek

Author's Rating: Rating: 5/5 stars

Pros: Observations, narratives, images painted by descriptions, philosophy, perspective

Cons: Not quick, easy reading, requires reflection and a pre-existing fondness for nature

Bottom Line:
If stories of sitting with Great Blue Herons or lying motionless for hours only to watch a muskrat take your breath away, then I recommend this book to you. Read More at Epinions.com
