“Stephen Jenkinson’s elegant and sorrow-freighted book brings
prophetic insight rather than pastoral affirmations. A true
story-man, Jenkinson paints image after image on the cave wall of
his parchment. Die Wise is a formidable body of work, road-tested
in ways most of us hope never to know about. Stay with it, hold the
sorrow as the gift it is, savor in small, immense chunks. Every
word is an invitation to trade fantasy for imagination. There isn’t
a book like it.”
—Dr. Martin Shaw, author of Snowy Tower: Parzival and the Wet,
