"Above all I am excited by much of what is offered in these essays, by their groaning towards the comprehensive vision of the 'wind.' There are metaphors... which are both resonant and intractable...

If our self-discovering is to take care of the fragments/facets, it cannot neglect one half of the remembering. This book, edited by two women who both practice the business of literature, is a significant contribution to the beginning of the process of finding the necessary vision and including the other half." -From the Foreword by Pamela Claire Mordecai
