“Editor Angel Mota has expertly curated each of the pieces in this anthology, into a compelling whole about the authors’ connection to natural spaces through olfactory experiences.  Most of the contributors of Beyond the Park are immigrant settlers, with their own mother tongues, embracing either English or French, depending on where they settled. The untranslated pieces, written in English or French, Canada’s two official languages, complicate the cultural and linguistic idea of the “Two Solitudes.” ”
