Poetry. "Emily Dickinson said tell all the truth, but 'tell it slant.' Use indirect lighting; staring at the sun can blind you. Harer uses images, sounds, evocation to hook the deep truth beneath. Her economy, spareness, and ability to paint nature in vivid colors are her 'slant.' A raw, wrenching experience unfurls starkly, beautifully."—Emily Leider
