"Deanne Lundin's The
Ginseng Hunter's Notebook is an
authentic poetic harmonium, blending a probative and anxious
post-modernism with a nearly primitive lyric sensibility. I
am struck and pleased by her lucid sense of the present, clarifying
the moment as we live it, but equally awed by the transformations
of her fractious narratives, wrung from her wide and wild historical
flair. Hildegard of Bingen meets the Internet, indeed! Here
are potions, conjurations, folkloric remedies, like voices
from a vexing past–are they our real parents? are they
our demons? –as acrid, as overwhelming, as they are brilliant
and healing. The Ginseng Hunter's Notebook is a marvelous debut." –David
Baker
