Daniel J. Rice
“Outside is the only place we can truly be inside the world.”
Daniel J. Rice, THIS SIDE OF A WILDERNESS: A Novel

“A good roast of sun, it slows you, lets you relax–and out here if there's anything wrong, you can see it coming with bags of time to do what's next. This is the place and the weather for peace, for the cultivation of a friendly mind.”
A.L. Kennedy, Day
