"It offers us multiple points of entry, and each thread informs how we think about others, none offering a key for easily resolving the work ... A multidimensional view of place for Teare contains not sediment, clay, and stone, but a very human landscape. We get Teare's toying with the Transcendentalists, we get love poems, we get rural life thrust up against crowded city scenes. Out most refined elements, our most sublime questions are shadowed by our most base and erotic muddling of this false, lingering hierarchy." -- Colorado Review on Sight Map s Weekly (March 18, 2013) "Teare ... considers what it means to inhabit and observe landscapes, both external and internal. The observer and the natural world exert force on each other... The collection closes with two ... elegies... Influences of ecology, philosophy, love, and loss most clearly coalesce." -- Publishers Weekly (March 18, 2013)
