Swensen probes the profound bond between writing and walking. … Swensen’s phrases, glowing with incandescent imagery and searching wit, are themselves vividly real things of beauty.
-Briana Shemroske, Booklist
Cover to cover, Swensen offers readers a path through “a rhythmed reverie they could all walk into and farther into.”-Publishers Weekly
The collection presents Swensen’s own “walk-about” poetic excursions alongside her sequential micro-essays on writers who also wrote about walking, forming an overlay of literary gems on this topic.-Karen An-hwei Lee, The Kenyon Review
