"I can now say with confidence that Farrant is my favourite Canadian writer. Her work is hilarious, strange, sensitive, joyous, acerbic, incisive, and, most significantly  -  and perhaps inarticulately  -   wonderful . - Pasha Malla, The Literary Review of Canada

"This memoir is the perfect read for those of us harried and hounded by the daily news (which is pretty much all of us) who need a deep dive into contemplation, lightness and clarity." - BC BookWorld

"Progressing through nature's seasonal cycles and harking to the observable reality of the here and now out there, her accounts resonate inwardly with common sense, discovery, moments of nostalgia, and a sense of hope that mythographers among us will surely recognize as 'memories of the future.'" - Trevor Carolan, BC Review

"M.A.C. Farrant names the world for us in such a way that the ordinary becomes profound and the profound ordinary. Each chapter in the book becomes an opportunity to land, as if for the first time, on earth. Savour each of them. It is hard to imagine a better way into the mysterious than this wondrous new collection." - Eve Joseph, author of In the Slender Margin

"M.A.C. Farrant can somehow see the forest and the trees, able to articulate the wider narrative and the smallest detail, and with such wonderful ease. When I grow up, I hope to write even half as well." - rob mclennan, author of On Beauty: stories

"Farrant's beautiful sentences, as always, are testaments to curiosity and to possibility. Throughout these seventy-two deep breaths,' we marvel with pleasure at Farrant's marvelling." - Stuart Ross, author of The Book of Grief and Hamburgers
