“[Huyler shows] the world as it is, lovely and disturbing all at once.” —Atul Gawande
“A gifted writer and doctor.” —Abraham Verghese
“A writer who makes every word count.” —Times Literary Supplement
“[Huyler] is an E.R. physician as well as a poet, and his work shows the economy and sharp attention that both jobs demand.” —New Yorker
“At times [Huyler’s] style owes something to the rapturous economy of Denis Johnson. . . . [His] work is implicitly political . . . but maintains an elemental tone.” —Harper’s Magazine
“The intimate tone of Huyler’s elegiac voice invites us to . . . think again about the things we think we know.” —New York Times Book Review
“[Huyler] captures life, death, the decisions that change our lives, violence, and grace—all at once.” —Book Riot
