Beside Ourselves
“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.”
--Sandra Alcosser

Curtain Creek Farm
“Portraying idealists who haven’t lost the faith, her stories are positive without being saccharine, wise without being ponderous, and her quietly humane vision effortlessly lifts up both the people she writes about and the people who read about them.”
--Erin McGraw, author of Lies of the Saints
