"""In One Wild Word Away, Geffrey Davis imagines a song that contains all the contradictions within us, a song to guard against illness, loss, and death, all the old stories of our past. He imagines a new story, too, one that ‘brightens something else between us.’ This book is that song. We can hear it, this love, and ‘It hums like mercy.’”  — Blas Falconer, author of Forgive the Body This Failure"
