“Joseph Sutton has an eye–for navel oranges and red rubies, for heroic cats and noble geckoes, for perfect mouths and super-sized bartenders. He has an ear–for festival rhythms and regional accents, bedtime stories and cautionary tales. He has a heart–for the pull of tradition and the call of the road, for bright-eyed Greek beauties and unresponsive ladies of the night, for boys becoming men, and writers scraping by. Most of all, Joseph Sutton has a voice–that emerges strong and true in this remarkable collection of stories.” —Lynn Park, photographer and poet
