What people are saying
Lectures on Scottish and contemporary literature, writes about animals, tries to be hopeful. He/they.
In her review of my book, Laurie compares it to Mark Doty's Still Life with Oysters and Lemon, which is very kind of her indeed, and probably not true. Doty was an early writer we shared, and I can't remember who introduced his work to the other.

Had to look out this excerpt from Mark Doty's 'Still Life with Oysters and Lemon' as it's been bouncing around my mind lately. Impeccably expressed: "Say what you see and you experience yourself through your style of saying and seeing" 😍 https://t.co/b6EKnth155
Praise for this book
"This small book is as wise, sensitive, intense, and affecting as anything I have read in recent years." -Doris Grumbach, author of Fifty Days of Solitude
"A gem." -Library Journal
"Mark Doty's prose is insistently exploratory, yet every aside, every detour, turns into pertinence, and it all seems effortless, as though the author were wondering, and marveling, aloud." -Bernard Cooper, author of Truth Serum
"A dazzling accomplishment, its radiance bred of lucid attention and acute insight. The subject is the profoundly personal act of perception translated into description. Doty succeeds in rendering this most contemplative of arts-the still life-into a riveting drama." -Patricia Hampl, author of I Could Tell You Stories
