"The music of Ellen Waterston's language in BETWEEN DESERT SEASONS is touching and vibrant, fiery raw and refined, reined in and set free." -- Pattiann Rogers, author of WAYFARE "The poems in this collection search for a way beyond loneliness of self first by naming that loneliness and then by threading connections to the multi-layered world beyond the self..." -- Wendy Mnookin, author of THE MOON MAKES ITS OWN PLEA "Ellen Waterston gives us the key to her heart: mother, daughter, loyal friend, stubborn lover, fancy dancer, and it hurts so good." -- Linda Hussa, author of TOKENS IN AN INDIAN GRAVEYARD "Ellen Waterston's new poems come from years of living in a desert of high revelation... [Her] poems create an oasis for all of us -- a clear, remote, and vital spring, a woman's life beyond any macho western settler's museum or mirage." -- George Venn, General Editor of the Oregon Literature Series and author of WEST OF PARADISE
