"This is a book that deserves to be read for the insights it offers into the daily life of the complex and gifted O'Keeffe; for the love (I am tempted to write "adoration") that the artist inspired in those around her; and for the evolving and increasingly mature perceptions of the young poet who recorded her observations with such a sustained and clear-eyed focus."—Story Circle Book Reviews
"Anyone interested in the painter and her extremely private daily life will find this thoughtfully detailed account fascinating, for beyond O'Keeffe's high garden walls and guardian chow dogs, Merrill observed 'a visual feast.'"—New Mexico Magazine
"Those of us who never get tired of reading another insider's account of this icon of the modern art world will also take delight in Merrill's book."—Santa Fe New Mexican
