"Norris, whose poetry collections include "The Middle of the World," reached a wide audience with her prose memoir "Dakota: A Spiritual Geography," Readers of that book will recognize here her closely considered relationship with the prairie; her persistent and delighted spiritual questioning; her respectful identification with other women both ordinary and extraordinary; and her joy in stories. . . . Norris's poems are characterized by generosity and compassion, as plain and spacious as the prairie life that has engendered many of them." "--Publishers Weekly"
