"[W]hen a book achieves the trifecta of truly beautiful balanceprecise observation, uncannily accurate words, wildness and depth of heartit must be as close to perfect as our weird and glorious art can get. . . . Throughout the book, the speaker is concerned with the continuum of life: from stones and plants and planets, to finches and fire, on to witches and princesses and she honors each form it takes.
