Media

“A wonderful mixture of music, historical research and personal reflection.” – St. Paul Pioneer Press Dispatch

“Instead of taking the issue of blame head on, Dietz has treated the tragedy like a source of light refracted through the characters involved – the captain, the crew, the widows, the owners. The cumulative effect of these interlaced fragments gives troubling life to what might have been dry facts.” – Variety

“A wonderful mixture of music, historical research and personal reflection – all of it wrapped in the metaphorical power of sea literature and in the evocative emotion of achingly beautiful folk songs.” – St. Paul Pioneer Press Dispatch
