Editorial Reviews

Review
"Lyons writes passionately and eloquently about coming of age...He understands the uses of love. His is good work." -- William Kittredge

"Mr. Lyon's prose reads like poetry and has the effect of a lingering memory of love." -- Terry Tempest Williams

Product Description
In Landscape of the Heart, Stephen J. Lyons writes of a five-year period following a divorce when he and his young daughter Rose serch for new meanings in their lives and their relationship. This quiet work of healing is both painful and joyful as Stephen and Rose discover the West together. These essays and poems confirm the existence of an internal "landscape" that responds to birds on the wing, mountain lakes, big skies, and dense forests - a landscape of the heart.

"These are the moments I am moving in," writes Lyons. "As I get older, I lean more and more toward these small pockets of the obvious and the mysterious that rise from the landscape, surround memories, and enhance a sense of possibilities. This is also where I am leading my daughter during the short years of our time together."

5.0 out of 5 stars A quietly touching, funny and affirming book ; great writing, April 1, 1999
Every time I happen upon a magazine article written by Lyons I read it, no matter the subject. He is one of my favorite freelancer/contributers around. Always a keen, insightful and oftentimes happily cynical view on things. A writer I can trust, or buy a used car from. His writing in this book is just as good, and the subject - a single father, his daughter, the land the nurtures them both - is very relevant to me - also a father with young children to whom I hope to pass on a love of the land. Great job, Stephen!
