...your words
sing, and the song is one reflecting a great inner stillness and peace...it makes us listeners slow down- stop, and take time
for the beauty in small things around us, to appreciate the usual and the ordinary- miracles nonetheless.- Jean Ritchie-

What
a wondrous gem you have made!! On some levels it reminds me of Anne Morrow Lindberg's books, and/or Rosalie Sorrels'
mother's recollections. In "WindWords of Wyoming"... the land lives in your hands---and you make its colors
as vivid as any reality-based laser photo. In a grand way, you and Lewis and Clark's journals are praising and describing
the same special land mass--the American West. They found it when it was pristine---and you, by looking at the beauty spots
and away from the crap, like any good photographer had to teach themselves to do, have beamed your light on the beauty that
still remains. -Art Thieme-

"WindWords
of Wyoming," by Kat LaFrance, is one of the most genuinely wonderful collections that I have ever had the pleasure to
read.
Kat writes so wistfully and poignantly
about her life and her Wyoming home, that you can feel the majesty of places like Shirley Mountain seen through her eyes.
Both her poetry and prose shine in this collection,
and in multiple readings, I continue to rediscover old favorites, and even see other pieces in a new light.
Everyday life is re-invented in this collection in
a most joyous way; how to let go, how to make peace with both life and death, how much fun it can be just to let Nature be
a part of your life, and even the simple joys of things like "ShutEyes Cleaning".
This is the kind of book that was written to be dog-eared, have its passages highlighted,
and to be an old friend who falls open to your favorite page every time.

most delighted, my daughter gave me your book 'WindWords of Wyoming'. You certainly have a way with words. I'm
enjoying it very much. - Mrs. E.S. -
