From “Turtle Island Press” , New Arts Examiner” 4/85, Thomas Gartside “The books of Turtle Island Press are seductive in two ways: in theme they represent a sustained affirmation, an oasis of poetry and fantasy in the information age; and in form, they embody the timeless traditions of craft and the beautiful object.” From "Text Blocks”, City Paper by Gerard Brown “For those seeking a more substantial read, check out Claire Owen’s “Gabriel Family” , the story of the son of a stone mason and a witch. After witnessing the death of his mother, the child goes on to carve a new family for himself and …I hadn’t ought to reveal the end, but the piece is a delightful interweaving of Owen’s story and her etching of Gothic arches and gargoyles. The book which was produced by Turtle Island Press is a beautiful combination of extraordinary materials, exceptional craftsmanship, and artistic beauty.”
