<blockquote>Twelve powerful meditations in Monty Reid's ''Flat Side'' explore the subtle connections between life and words, matter and consciousness, ourselves and the earth and sky.

<blockquote>The thing that impressed me the most about Monty Reid's work is the sense of absolute distance that he evokes. With a title like ''Disappointment Island'', this seems laughably obvious, but delving into the opening pages of his first section "Songs for the Mammoth Steppe," a whiff of something truly Romantic comes out at you.<ref>http://www.ottawaxpress.ca/books/books.aspx?iIDArticle=10765</ref></blockquote>
