“The book is a brilliant, harrowing account of illness and healing, by one of our best writers.”

—Leslie Marmon Silko

PRAISE FOR POWER

“Power is a beautifully written story, that rare book that comes along once in a while, touching the deep parts of our humanness and calling us…to be better than we are.”

—Rocky Mountain News

“Hogan’s Power is a bildungsroman. It is a lament for the animals and plants we have so needlessly extinguished and it is also a story hopeful for the restoration of a world in balance.”

—Bloomsbury Review

“An enchanting coming-of-age tale.”

—Washington Post

“[Hogan] has written a book about a crisis of belief that is dizzying in its depths, a book that is a testament to the ability of people to imagine what they cannot articulate.”

—Boston Book Review

“The portrait of nature’s elemental power is distinctive and haunting.”

—Kirkus Reviews

“Linda Hogan’s remarkable gift is a language of her own, moving gracefully between ordinary conversation and the embrace of divinity. In Power she has placed her central character precisely where we all stand: on a ruined land, looking backward at the choices that brought us here and forward to those we have yet to make. Power is a haunting, beautiful testament that finally leaves out nothing, including hope.”

—Barbara Kingsolver

“Hogan has examined the brutal overlay of white society on Native American culture in her previous books, but none have caught fire as gloriously as this enthralling tale of a young Taiga woman’s struggle to come to terms with her heritage…. Hogan, who is absolutely magnificent in one radiantly dramatic scene after another, compels us to consider all the forms power takes and how foolishly we abuse it.”

—Booklist, starred review

“Its profundity is great: this is a book about losing and regaining the living world…. Hogan uses her skills as a poet here to cast a potent spell. Her sentences, full of vivid images and often composed of long, rhythmic phrases, have an incantatory, dreamlike sound.”

—San Francisco Chronicle

PRAISE FOR DWELLINGS: A SPIRITUAL HISTORY OF THE LIVING WORLD

“Hogan exquisitely examines both natural and internal landscapes. She writes beautifully about animals without anthropomorphizing them and, in so doing, explores what it means to be human. Herself a Chickasaw, Hogan is able to bring a diverse cultural perspective to her analysis of how people relate to nature.”

—Publishers Weekly

“Hogan brings her feeling for language and story to these quietly beautiful and provocative musings on the nature of nature…of the ‘circular infinity’ of life and death, of how air, earth, and water commingle and transform each other, how flowers bloom even in a place as blasted as Hiroshima.”

—Booklist

“She encourages her readers to see themselves as a small part of the whole that is our ecosystem. The pieces come together to reflect the author’s profound respect for the earth and prompt us to feel the same.”

—Library Journal
