“In a mixture of precise prose interspersed with pared-down, almost haiku-like poems, Heller’s meditation embodies the harsh life and land- scape of the indigenous population, along with the ever-lurking mystery and aura of Nerja’s pre-historic caves. And, in the process of remembering, he brings us movingly into touch with the most basic and eternal of human questions: how shall we relate to the others around us and to the place in which we live.”- Hugh Seidman
