You gave me a lovely couple of hours and I've been reading it out loud to my wife. Simple, profound, intimate. As a longtime columnist I know the highs and lows of the form and you hit continuous highs. Congratulations. And wow.

The totality is infinitely more impactful than each of the single columns. I had goosebumps while reading the description of Amanda Gorman, apprehension while you were lost in the woods and smiles at your strategy for gaining a bar stool for dinner in Kennebunkport…the book is perfection.

I enjoyed the excellent writing. (The author is) a keen observer of nature and surroundings…and has created a meaningful and satisfying life on many fronts. Fishing never appealed to me but if anything could it would be reading (this) book…a wonderful sampler about all there is to learn about fishing and catching.

A successful attorney, Mr. Ackerman is a man of many talents, and interests. Breezy dispatches and tales of fishing adventures are peppered with keen observations of matters large and small.
