* &ldquo;With a directness similar to Jordan Scott&rsquo;s I Talk Like a River, this story addresses the stigma surrounding dyslexia. . . .&#160;[Talbott]&#160;does a brilliant job of illuminating the feeling of dyslexia through his watercolor and colored pencil illustrations. . . .&#160;Leavened with humor, charm, and a child&rsquo;s self-empowerment, this is an important book both for struggling readers and for classmates who need to cultivate a dose of empathy.&rdquo; &mdash;School Library Journal, starred review"Seamless interplay between the text and the art, rendered in ink, colored pencil, and watercolor, amplifies the text. . . . . Emphasizing sheer persistence as the way through, this is a personal, visually arresting read for those who may find themselves learning at a different pace. Back matter features an author&rsquo;s note." &mdash;Publishers Weekly"Expressive picture book. . . . The imaginative illustrations show a boy running from a flock of flying books, confined behind a wall of gray bricks covered in small-print words, and lost in a forest where the undulating roots and branches of trees are covered with complex terminology. An encouraging picture book for those who struggle with reading." &mdash;Booklist&ldquo;In the watercolor, colored-pencil, and ink pictures, books fly at him like so many bats or birds of prey; trees are menacingly twisted into and around words; and an entire spread of newsprint becomes a gray, densely packed 'Wall of Shame.' He feels 'alone and lost in a world of words' and worries; what if his classmates find out he can&rsquo;t keep up with them? As he comes up with strategies to forge his own path . . . the illustrations&rsquo; palette slowly lightens. Then he begins to experiment with how to write stories. . . . In an appended note, Talbott relates his childhood struggle with dyslexia and how he wrote this story to help others." &mdash;Horn Book"Expertly captures the claustrophobic crush of unknown vocabulary, first as a downpour of squiggles from the sky, then as a gnarled, dark forest with words lining the branches. . . . . Talbott excels at evincing concepts visually, and this talent is in evidence here as his protagonist first struggles then gains mastery, surfing confidently down a wave of words. Patience and curiosity (along with some fierce determination) can unlock incredible stories.&#160;A striking visual representation of how the label 'bad reader' can feel." &mdash;Kirkus Reviews

Praise for The Great Clod
“His newest book of prose, The Great Clod, is a series of essays on Asia’s ecological history, combining culture and politics in a way that is, unsurprisingly, poetic and graceful. The Great Clod may be slim but its scope is immense.”—The Japan Times

“Classical poetry, calligraphy, the best source of temple incense—all figure in the text, which has something of the feel of a valediction. Elegant and thoughtful, with much to read between the lines in commentary on a long life's work. Students and admirers of Snyder will be enchanted and intrigued.” —Kirkus Reviews

“Each essay furnishes a graceful, very conversational (sentence fragments and all), but keenly well-informed enticement to pursue its subject further. This kind of friendly, even compassionate, mode of instruction comes, of course, from the American arguably most responsible for spreading appreciation of East Asia among North Americans.” —Booklist


Praise for Gary Snyder

“Snyder’s is a wise voice crying out on behalf of the wilderness with an authority and eloquence that’s not been heard in our literature since Thoreau.” —San Francisco Chronicle

“His sense of the history of land and cultures and his ability to write as both the Worker and the Thinker create a fertile whole.” —Los Angeles Times

“No one has written so forcefully against urban sprawl, pollution, and mechanization. Somehow Snyder has managed to stay outside what used to be called the System and to remain a free man.” —New York Times Book Review

“Snyder is an elder statesman of the natural world and the tribal unions of poetry. He has a body of work as original as predecessors Williams Carlos Williams and Wallace Stevens.” —The Bloomsbury Review

“His greatest strength—a quiet and profound elegance, an ability to write a simple phrase that seems to have been echoing through human consciousness for three or four thousand years.” —Lewis MacAdams, California Magazine

“Gary Snyder has maintained a bedrock sanity and art for the benefit of all our mutual lives, generously, specifically, constantly. If poetry means anything, and it does, his has made that point for all of us again and again and again.” —Robert Creeley, author of Memory Gardens

"This poet's great gift has always been perfect visual clarity...and, needless to say, derives from Snyder's vision in the larger sense." —Paul Berman,Village Voice

"What thoughtful beauty! How skillfully Gary Snyder interfuses the practical knowledge of an animal sense with story, language, and song. True teachers in American are now an endangered species. I learn so much from this good man's perception, humor, discipline, and love for this world." —James Hillman
