Reviews:

From the Miramichi Reader: “One of the more compelling stories is Rowsell’s “The Calm of the Herd.” Though some of the sections are dark in tone, including a piece where a group of neighbourhood bullies tie the protagonist to the railroad tracks, the story carries the reader forward with a sense of mystery. Rowsell’s story is layered with meaning and speaks to family secrets, the compassion of animals, and the toll that small-town life can take. There are emotionally resonant segments, including one in which the protagonist’s grandfather talks about how he felt when the circus came to town.” (Lisa Timpf, 2022)
