Book Cover: Standing in the Footprints of Beasts. Danica Klewchuk. Memoir in essays. On a shiny black background cursive text wraps around the image of strange and beautiful flowers, some with eyes, an arm reaching out of one of the leaves and snatching a bee, a tentacle coming out of another.

The review reads: Kaleidoscopic. An edgy and wondrous debut. Jessica Waite, Alberta Views.
