Review:

...particularly useful because of the breadth of the essays and the presentation of new material...judicious selection of essays...especially valuable because they invite the reader to reexamine and reevaluate Lowry's work.--American Review Of Canadian Studies

...a varied and uniformly excellent collection of essays and memoirs, and in collating these pieces, Paul Tiessen has done the Lowry reader an invaluable service.--Canadian Literature
