"Patterson seemingly had a hand in every outlet of creative expression all over the South.... In this book he hews closely to his seven years in Georgia's capital city, when he embarked on projects that eventually made him a go-to authority on visionary art.... Patterson clearly has a kind of internal divining rod that dependably leads him toward worthwhile weirdos."
Patterson opens himself up to strangeness ad outsideness, differentness, which most people don't.... Most people are very guarded and sort of bored. That's the last thing Patterson is. Nothing bores him, anything interests him.
Poet/photographer/publisher Jonathan Williams
Patterson was always seeing things in interesting ways.... He has a sense of the unusual and a sense of discovery-a sense of the ridiculous, and wants to share that."
Alfred W. Brown, founding editor of Brown's Guide to Georgia
