Jesse Lee Kercheval quotes

“Reading Bicycling beyond the Divide was the best vacation I took all year-in a year I traveled to Mexico, France, and Italy. Even if you have never ridden a bike or set foot in the West, this book will make both a part of your life as vivid as any trip you have taken. Daryl Farmer's journey-into the heart of a land, of a time, into the very nature of memory and experience-is one I will never forget.”
-- Jesse Lee Kercheval -
“If love is sex we were in love. & if love outlasts the body, then I am you, it is fair to say.”
-- Jesse Lee Kercheval -
“The poem in Where Good Swimmers Drown are love poems. But love poems that defy the divisions between emotion and intellect, private and public, life and art, writer and reader. To read Elbe's poems is to discover not only what it means to be in love, but what it means to be alive.”
-- Jesse Lee Kercheval -
