Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

With Leap, Terry Tempest Williams, award-winning author of Refuge," offers a sustained meditation on passion, faith, and creativity-based upon her transcendental encounter with Hieronymus Bosch's medieval masterpiece The Garden of Delights. <BR>Williams examines this vibrant landscape with unprecedented acuity, recognizing parallels between the artist's prophetic vision and her own personal experiences as a Mormon and a naturalist. Searing in its spiritual, intellectual, and emotional courage, Williams's divine journey enables her to realize the full extent of her faith and through her exquisite imagination opens our eyes to the splendor of the world.

Review:

"Earth is art, Williams realizes, and at the very least, it deserves the same respect and protection accorded Bosch's triptych. 'The world is holy. We are holy. All life is holy,' she writes, and no one who follows her on this remarkable journey will ever take art, nature, or faith for granted again." Donna Seaman, Booklist

Review:

"Expect nothing less than to catch Terry Tempest Williams, author of Refuge, writer of and about nature and spirit and art and religion, in midair." Susan Salter Reynolds, Los Angeles Times
