"A compelling story and a deeply satisfying read... Honyocker Dreams provides an introspective glimpse at adventures both large and small, a consuming quest for a sense of place and belonging, and on a large scale, life's mystery and tragedy." - Beef Torrey, coeditor of Jim Harrison: A Comprehensive Bibliography, 1964-2008 "[Honyocker Dreams] has the true feel of human memory, the memory that recognizes past and present and future, but experiences them all at once, in the recalling and retelling of the lifetimes that have touched him." - Scott P. Sanders, professor of English at the University of New Mexico "Mogen's story, especially its disruption and unsettling of the idea of home, is both important and new. Often in western American letters, representations swing between the poles of 'stickers' and 'movers,' but Mogen shows that there is another position within the larger narrative. His account of identification and affiliation with place despite the lack of a solid 'home place' adds a key piece to the existing body of literature." - Nancy Cook, associate professor of English at the University of Montana
