“In this celebration of the American landscape, Siebert’s measured verses convey the majesty of the mountain personified, Sierra herself. Minor’s stunning acrylic paintings evoke the breathtaking beauty of his subject. There is a siren’s-song quality to this lovely book [and] readers might well feel how tragically possible it is for us to love our wilderness to death.” — SLJ.
