However, his personal odyssey takes a multi-dimensional view. . . . As an artist, his tool box is filled with astonishing talents.

We also get to know the writer's two daughters, Ursula and Isadora, mostly as young children, but also as young women. I'm fascinated by the pictures he draws of his children.

The author has been to a great many sacred places, and has had his eyes open.</p> <p> </p> <ul> <li>Thomas Lyon, Editor of <em>The Oxford Literary West</em></li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>John Nizalowski, a master painter of landscapes both physical and ethereal, conjures with words the nostalgic recall of the world we see and the one that lies hidden. In <em>Chronicles of the Forbidden </em>we can hear an unerring authentic voice of the land, the west, and beyond. All are punctuated by apt metaphors, mythologies, and a deep knowledge of American Indian lore. Here is an evocation of a place and a time into a realm of magical realism, not of fiction, but of an actuality where all things possess an animating spirit.</p> <p> </p> <ul> <li>Alan Louis Kishbaugh, <em>Deep Waters: Frank Waters Remembered in Letters and Commentary</em></li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Envisioning life as a carnival within the cycle of the eternal return, John Nizalowski deploys through his writing a rhetoric of universals - the timeless, the boundless - in order to evoke in us a feeling of cosmos, not chaos.</p> <ul> <li>Alexander Blackburn, <em>Creative Spirit</em></li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>The geography of the Southwestern United States holds great spiritual significance for those who have listened to its wind, heard the call of the eagle, roamed its stark canyons, and slept under its exceptionally clear skies. John Nizalowski . . . is among those people.</p> <ul> <li>Susan Alfred, <em>Under the Sun: A Journal of Creative Non-Fiction</em></li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Nizalowski's prose is pointed and gritty, unsparing in its detail and savagely honest. . . .</p> <ul> <li>Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer, <em>Telluride Magazine</em></li> </ul><br>
