Open Field, Understory

'Though southern to the core, Seay is also very much a part of the modern world we commonly know. He can decode its scrambled signals--from Russia to the Midi, Caribbean island to bayou fishing, Elvis to commissar. We go with him readily to place his world alongside our own and hear a voice speaking which is always honest, both complex and clear.' -- Elizabeth Spencer
