Review # 1 was written on 2020-11-20 00:00:00 James Seelbach Wow! 3 1/2 months, 386 pages of story and poems, all by women of the West. I've mostly read this during my quiet morning hot tub soaks, the most recent days with a solar-powered camping lantern to light the pages. I have dog-eared 12 spots in the collection, poems and stories alike, and could have marked so many more. These have been intense and thought-provoking, these stories of sisters, aunties, and grandmothers of mine. There are a couples stories that I want to share with some particular people and some poems I will have to revisit. These are MOSTLY stories grounded in the northwest US and I have wondered about the stories of the nomads, the wanderers. Some are those stories, though I also realize that, at 18 years in Coeur d'Alene, I am more grounded here than I probably think.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-02-09 00:00:00 James Vigil I really enjoyed the variety of writing in this book. I was quite surprised that I enjoyed it as much as I did. I do not normally read anthologies, as they often sit on my bookshelf. This became the perfect book to put in my bag and look forward to reading anytime a quiet moment presented itself. After reading this, I decided to read another book of short stories of the west by reading the book Close Range.
