To: Stewart and Titania,

Thank you thank you for reviewing this book at length. I do not have the energy right now to do so, but I really enjoyed reading your reactions.

..the depth...and the water...the symbolism...and the sadness -- it is so hard to describe. Stewart you chose perfect adjectives for this one. Titania, I'm glad you wrote of the kind of...delicate sexuality here.

This book deeply resonates with me and I feel it needs more attention.

Here is a sample of my favorite page:
"Promise in deepest snow from Siss to Unn:
I promise to think about no one but you. To think about everything I know about you. To think about you at home and at school, and on the way to school. To think about you all day long, and if I wake up at night.

Promise at Night: I feel you are so close that I could touch you, but I dare not."

This book is so beautiful that it hurts. I promise.

If anyone reading this is a writer, consider Vesaas a teacher of style.
