North Coast Oregon poet Logan Garner article in Anthroposphere: an homage to Dr. Pyle.

"So it's one more lesson from Robert Michael Pyle: that there is richness in realization of the moment, in acknowledgement of even the smallest creatures, of tiny, wild nooks and crannies. It is the example of being here, now, that Pyle offers in his writing, especially in poetry. It is an example I will strive to follow."
