"“Since I was young I always wanted to be in the landscape,” Myers writes. That line, recalling the opening of Goodfellas, gives a strong sense of Under the Rock. It’s a book which doesn’t just discuss or describe landscape, but immerses you within it. Even that title invokes the idea of worms, mulch and soil. The things that dwell beneath a rock. Myers is both the person lifting it to see what lives underneath, and at the same time, another person caught underneath it..." - Daniel Carpenter reviews Under the Rock by Benjamin Myers
