Reviews

Not since 36 Children and The Way it Spoze to Be in the 60's have I been so completely transported into the consciousness of a beginning high school teacher confronting those awesome choices: survival by authoritarian repression, by capitulation, or by transcendence into a truer self, the discovery of an inner authority based on an ancient knowing that frees one from having to prove anything and allows one full access to the loving curiosity, the simple seeing that makes us God's eyes and hands. From this place nothing is terrifying, everything teaches. Sublime is a fine word for it. -Catharine Lucas Coordinator, Composition Studies San Francisco State University
