“With homespun candor and hard-won recognition, Kloefkorn’s reveries reveal the persuasive benediction of a life well lived.”—Booklist
"Nothing attracts a reader to a book like humor and charm, both of which this author exhibits in abundance. . . . What makes this volume so gratifying is how the essays span a complete life and are integrated into a cohesive whole. The language and phrasing, the poetry that is woven through the book, the images and description, and his humor weave the stories together and provide the reader with a deeply satisfying reading experience."—Aline Soules, ForeWord magazine
"I don't know anyone who would not love this book."—Charles Stephen, Lincoln Journal Star
"Nobody is a better storyteller than Bill Kloefkorn—you wish these Mark Twain monologues would go on forever. Finishing Breathing in the Fullness of Time, you want to invent some fifth element beyond air, earth, fire, and water to occasion one more volume."—David Pichaske, Great Plains Quarterly
"If you read this book, you'll love its big arms. To use one of my children's words, you'll find it breathing in the fullerness of time."—Don Welch, Nebraska Life
"Kloefkorn's appreciation for life and the people significant to his life is clearly evident throughout the book, one that ended too soon. Breathing in the Fullness of Time is the fourth in a four-part memoir. If this book is a first experience with a Kloefkorn memoir, as it was mine, it's time to start with the first part of the series."—Conrad Davidson, North Dakota Quarterly
