"Mary Sojourner is a fiery activist, and her passion is contagious." -- Maxine Kumin, The Women's Review of Books"Sojourner is a pithy yet sensuous, spiritual yet ferocious writer who tackles love, aging, loneliness, our relationship with nature, and death with a tangy wit, hard-earned acumen, and generous affection for her fellow human beings." -- Booklist"The collection relates how a brave human faces aging with honesty and determination to take from her remaining years the most precious stuff they have to offer, and to repay the world with the gifts she feels are most worthy: protest, poetry and wisdom." -- San Diego Union-Tribune"Sojourner allows us to be brave in ways we may not always be brave, dug in and stubborn when we might have walked away and fiercely curious where we might have simply put the newspaper down and wept." -- Southwest BookViews"These essays are furious and smart, full of unabashed pagan love for her adopted mountains and deserts, laced with contempt for bored money and what it does to the earth." -- Mountain Gazette"The West is an undeclared war. We should be grateful for Mary Sojourner's dispatches from the battleground. She's not objective, she's not fair, she's just right. Now what are you and I going to do?" -- Charles Bowden, author of "Blood Orchid: An Unnatural History of America" 'Bonelight' is a must-read for those of us who shrink from fighting on behalf of the land -- not because the work is tedious, but because we fear losing ourselves in the grief of our caring. That we must mourn as bravely as Sojourner does is as much for the sake of the biological loves of our lives as it is for ourselves." -- Orion
