The judges stated that this collection of poems "impresses as a reflective exploration of the most Mormon of topics, the relationship of family and religious experience. The energy of the poems lies in their gentle co-mingling of dark profundity and engagingly informed naivete. Through them Clark has taught us that form indeed liberates, and that sonship may bristle at times with anger and cry out in pain, yet resolve in awe and celebration."
