"Killingsworth writes with verve about the distinctive character of Galveston...with memorable images by top Texas photographer Geoff Winningham."--Steve Bennett, Houston Chronicle
-- (12/01/2011)"Galveston, a place where "metal goes to rust," has its grip on the author, who identifies with the city through his outings. By the end of hist story, he openly admits to knocking down mud nests of swallows, while islanders and swallows consistently rebuild despite demolition. Islanders rebuild on the foundation of Galveston spirit, embodied by its nature, history, and fantasy. Geoff Winningham's photography enhances the beauty of Killingsworth's connection with Galveston."--Tiffany Anderson, Texas Books in Review
-- (06/14/2012)"I have been going to Galveston all my life, but I haven't been back since Ike. Maybe now I will."--Glenn Dromgoole, Texas book and author reviewer for the San Angelo Standard-Times
-- (10/06/2011)"Jimmie Killingsowrth has collaborated with noted Texas photographer Geoff Winningham to produce Going Back to Galveton: Nature, Funk and Fantasy in a Favorite Place, new from Texas A&M University Press. Says Jimmie: "Musing on the distinctive character of Galveston-the changeable Gulf Coat shoreline, the grand hotels, the funky bars and tourist attractions-- Going back to Galveston ultimately reflects on how people relate to their favorite places and how nature constrains our ambitions and our fantasies about who we are and where we live."--Texas Institute of Letters and Newsletters
