Runner-up for "Best poetry book" national 2008 DIY Book Festival Review by Sairica Rose: "...Each poem and photograph within it resonates authenticity, grace, and depth without pretension or device. The author’s words and images depict strength through vulnerability, silence through voice, light through shadow and pay homage to the strange dance of sadness with beauty...exquisite collection of postcards from journeys through the inner and outer universes...The carefully placed black and white photos make you feel as though you really are sitting at the next table from one of the instants the author has carefully captured and holds still-breathing. “Dove in a Fountain in Cordoba” left me joyously perplexed for a day about what defines captivity and freedom. Watch out for this book. You can put it down, but it will get up and silently follow you."
