“John writes with great vulnerability about his life in Northern New Mexico and a sensitivity to the light and loss that have come with the joys of living in the terrible high desert. I've spent a lot of time in Colorado and New Mexico through the years and John seems to know it and feel it better than any of us other outlanders. And his work is just as compelling as he writes his touching narratives of life's most difficult passages. I am glad i came upon his work. ”
