Travel writing is a demanding genre. At its best, it is an exquisite mix of the personal, the philosophical and the factual — artfully propelled by vivid description. That's not an easy balance to achieve. But Emily Hiestand gets it just right.” — The Philadelphia Inquirer

In these fresh accounts of far-flung locations, Hiestand keeps returning us to the profound questions of home.” — The San Jose Mercury News

Dazzling, engaging poems…a bountiful group of superb poems. Like Gerard Manley Hopkins Hiestand praises the diversity of the world.” — Frances Mayes

Language as continuous with the natural world ”One of the most valuable things about Hiestand's poems is their vision of human life, and of its most characteristic feature, language, as continuous with the natural world.  – The Boston Review

Defining, broadening the window of reason “She examines the world under a scientist’s microscope, somewhat reminiscent of Dickenson, Moore, and Bishop before her.” — Judith Kitchen, The Georgia Review

A print version of Homage is forthcoming in 2025.
