"Ferocious... Beard [is] a towering talent... Perhaps instead of an essayist we should think of her as a poet-naturalist, wedding intuition and observation, and forming from this union something unaccountably yet undeniably real... a book as forceful as it is fine, leaving us both awed and unsettled." -Leah Hager Cohen, New York Times Book Review
