Rezensionen

It's just as extraordinary as the whispers from abroad suggested . . . the quiet, intensely private voice of Stone Yard Devotional feels more intimate than a library of confessional novels . . . Wood has developed a style that relies on dislocation, juxtaposition and elision to suggest the currents of spiritual turmoil and resolution. A lesser artist would push too hard for tenderness, for meaning, for what Hemingway called "fake" mysticism . . . Ultimately, a strange sense of engagement with these pages gives way to sheer gratitude for the chance to be in the presence of such restraint and wisdom Ron Charles Washington Post
