Praise for Patricia Wixon's poetry: "I love how Patty Wixon sees the world — how she remembers, intuits, links the shining details together. Reading her poems is almost as good as being in her company — a revitalization of spirit comes. Great warmth and gratitude for the richness of life — her poems are contagious in the best way." — Naomi Shihab Nye, Academy of American Poets Chancellor Emerita "These poems emanate compassion and enhance the way." — Lawson Inada, Oregon Poet Laureate Emeritus "These poems are alive to everything — places, people, memories, wild creatures in the garden, and myriad encounters along the road. There is a winsome confluence of a childlike open-eyed delight in all things, and an elder’s wisdom about what is precious, fragile, and worthy. There is tragedy, violence, loss, and grief. But through all changes and challenges, the poems preserve the sovereignty of the writer, whose ultimate act is blessing." — Kim Stafford, Oregon Poet Laureate Emeritus "In all of Patricia Wixon’s poetry, we find a keen eye for the details of the natural world — and of the everyday world seen anew — in language both straightforward and rich." — Lisa M. Steinman, Oregon Book Award Winner for Poetry "Patty Wixon’s wonderful poems call to mind the short stories of Alice Munro: There is a capacious sense of a whole life, closely observed; there is mystery and recognition and surprise. I like that the images speak with a lightness, a keen specificity, and again, with the delight of the unexpected, perfect turns. What a wonderful affection and gratitude for a long life’s passage I see in these fine poems." — Sandra Scofield, National Book Award Finalist
