Lavish praise.

Michael Ray Taylor has written a blush-inducing review of Trampoline for Chapter 16: A Community of Tennessee Writers, Readers, and Passersby. It ends like this: "Trampoline is a truly new sort of novel, one in which the masterful prose and intimate drawings work together to tell a powerful story. In Gipe’s hands, Jewell’s voice is musical and honest, her language and syntax brooking no nonsense and yet capturing the beauty and nuance of mountain life that others around her miss. Trampoline is a new American masterpiece." In response, I would just say thank you, and that it is humbling when people like what you've done better than you do.
