The cry of the Plican

'[this novel] is the love story of spirit and soul. It is an alchemic vessel, and reading it opens that vessel and releases into the world of the reader a vibrant synchrony field. It is a remarkable visionary work of art. Whoever reads it is, inevitably, changed. I can't possibly express the luminosity I've experienced from these pages, from the stupendous strength of feeling that naturally blooms in, with and through the mythopoeic awareness of these pages. This story of love is an infusion of masterful humanity, as close to a sacred text as fiction may approach, with a narrative flow as inevitable as the seasons, or starpaths. Its theme is the secret of personal proficiency. Sunlight breaks across the writing voice, cutting through a lot of darkness.' A. A. Attanasio.
