"Some people get up every morning and go out into the world looking for God. Ronda Brotach does this and gives us her field reports in poems that make us want to believe that faith and survival are one and the same. She is a poet to be thanked." -Rebecca Wells, author of Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood, Little Altars Everywhere, Ya-Yas in Bloom, and The Crowning Glory of Calla Lily Ponder
