"A tour de force. A truly original and remarkable recasting in verse of the ill-fated Narváez expedition to Central America. Hill's humanizing of de Vaca is the ingredient that makes it so moving and once taken up, impossible to put down." - Alistair Paterson, poet, editor, literary critic"In a series of extraordinary encounters depicted in beautifully rendered action and imagery. Hill makes de Vaca's inner world spring to wondrous life. Natural, memorable and rewarding." - Raewyn Alexander, author, editor, lecturer, reviewer"An extraordinary effort of imagination. Keith Hill is a unique creative individual who has produced a huge body of distinctive work. In New Zealand literature there's no one quite like him, and certainly no long poem like this one." - Roger Horrocks, writer, filmmaker
