"Harrison doesn't write like anyone else, relying entirely on the toughness of his vision and intensity of feeling to form the poem... here's a poet talking to you instead of around himself, while doing absolutely brilliant and outrageous things with language."-"Publishers Weekly"
"One is simply content to be in the presence of a writer this vital, this large-spirited."-"The New York Times Book Review"

"I usually like Jim Harrison's work and some of the poems in the collection were reasonably good. However, the book itself was poorly organized and seemed to be merely a bunch of poems put together in a random order. The long, rambling poems in the middle were really difficult to get into. Too many repetitive themes with death, dogs, and birds.
For someone who counts Braided Creek among their very favorite poetry books, this work was disappointing."
"I had read Harrison as the writer of Legends of the Fall and various short stories. This was the first book of his poetry I read, and it felt to me like bits and pieces of intense journal writing. He writes about the places he loves (Michigan, Montana, Mexico, France), dogs he has adored, women he has romanced, people who have died, and the way he is aging. There is a real sense of anger at our goverment and how politicians send young people off to war. All in all, there is a lot to think about in this book of poems."
