"Naranjo-Morse's poems . . . have a power arising from the immediacy of heartfelt experience. . . . This volume certainly "walks in beauty" with a sculpted balance between its two artistic media."--Western American Literature

"Mud Woman is a delightful and entertaining effort exploring the wonder of life and the joy of living in a unique and powerful way."--Chronicle-Journal/Times-News (Canada)

"Both moving and delightful. . . . A fine and welcome addition to any collection that includes Native American literature"--Booklist

"A wonderfully gentle and imaginative text, brought to life by a skillful artist in an uncommon dialogue of pottery and poems."--American Book Review

"Nora Naranjo-Morse reminds us that the Sky and Earth are relatives of the artist and are part of each conception, as is the human family -- most importantly the unforgetful charecetr Pearlene, the wild thing in all of us." -- Joy Harjo

"All of these poems and ceramics testify to the artist's willingness to question, to experiment, to take chances, and to grow. . . . We come away from this book with a deep appreciation for the making and knowing that lie behind these ceramic and poetic creations."--Native Peoples
