- David Citino Instructions for Walking on Water is an illuminated manuscript that gives radiance to even the most humble insect. The narrator of these poems is capable of sacred play.... George Santayana said a sense of humor is a sense of proportion, and with Jan Ande's poems spiritual wisdom is celebrated exuberantly to the accompaniment of laughter's chorale. - Sandra Alcosser Jan Ande's well-crafted poems are like a fresh mountain stream that springs from ancient sources. They are animated by a deep reverence for the world, by a sense of mystic awe, by a feeling of transcendental plenitude. They put us in the presence of great mysteries. - Edward Hirsch Reviewed in Image Update biweekly e-newsletter from Image: A Journal of the Arts & Religion, Issue #6, July 15, 2002 About the Author Jan Ande's Instructions for Walking on Water won the 2000 Richard Snyder Memorial Publication Prize.
