Reviews

This is a unique and personal book... Friedrich emerges in this book as a kind of poet/scholar, who brings together examples of his own vivid dreams, fine poems, and linguistic fieldwork in Mexico to fashion a sort of praise poem, a gently impassioned, extended hymn to the cultural significance of human imagination.
