“John's writing always comes from a place of deep care--for others, for community, and for our lands and waters.”

“John Lovie's "Mostly Water" just might go anywhere that involves water - to a community meeting or a gathering of friends in the U.S. Puget Sound region - or to Scandinavia. There could be whimsy, patriotism, or science. Always he finds a way to bedrock truths about nature and community. And below bedrock: guess what? There's water. When John writes, I feel like the aquifers will somehow be okay.”

“Insightful and deeply researched writing about this watery world, from a fellow islander.”
