"This collection weaves Sinavaiana-Gabbard's many context and continuities into a fine tapestry ... and continues a beautiful synthesis of perspectives, cultures and life struggles."  Konai Helu Thaman, University of the South Pacific

"Sinavaiana-Gabbard draws her imaginative strength and mana from the fertile depths of her Samoan people's mythologies, past, and wisdom, as well as from the cultural soil of North America and Tibetan Buddhism."  Albert Wendt, University of Auckland
