“If you are a fan of Raymond Carver, you'll love The Canyon Cuts Both Ways.”
— The Rose City Reader
Conversations of consequence, collisions of will.
This new book by indie author Dan T. Cox is a collection of overlapping stories crafted to draw readers into Oregon’s North Santiam Canyon. The powerful sense of place anchoring this cohesive work nearly elevates that canyon to the status of full-blown character—one with an omnipresent impact on the psychology of its inhabitants.

“…Cox’s storytelling illuminates human truths and offers keen insight into the human experience. One of the most compelling stories here is A Night by the Fire…Cox’s insight into human psychology shines brightest here.”
“…Cox is able to deliver narratives that sound original with each new story, while still allowing enough unity between them to permit a reader to feel as though they are more than just a casual observer. I honestly felt like an interloper, and it was fascinating…And I write this review from a sofa in London, longing for a trip to discover the little space in the huge canyon in Oregon.”
“The language is rich and alive…with wonderful descriptions of nature and the natural world; the words possessing a lyrical quality that make it seem like they might be accompanied by music.”
