received the Friends of Literature Award from POETRY MAGAZINE.

Miami University Press, 2003 “Nance Van Winckel looks into the world’s shattered glass and animates the cultures, histories, human dispositions, and decontextualized landscapes found there. For those who celebrate Keats’s Negative Capability--haunting, reflective, discontinuous--lift this mirror and breathe upon it; from the silvery lake of mystery, light’s brief truth glints.”

Linked stories, each told by a resident of a commune in Eastern Washington.
