“Lyrics and poetry. A magical combination, especially when the music of Tom Petty is the inspiration. Lietz’s debut collection is alluring, divulging stories of the highways of her life.” – Corri Daniels, Plains Cree sixties scoop survivor from George Gordon First Nation.

“Reading Lietz’s first book is like tailgating someone who knows where they’re going. Reading Occasionally Petty is like finding a well-worn deer path in the woods–you expect to feel comforted and exhilarated at the same time, humming and buzzing.” – Ariel Gordon, author of ‘TreeTalk’.
