“Like the best poetry, this book is first and foremost an experience—one which no analysis can do justice to.” ~ H.C. Gildfind, Mascara Literary Review
“These are important poems which enact what poetry at its best is sometimes able to do: to enable a reader to make greater sense of life’s most difficult and otherwise unmanageable experiences.” ~ Rose Lucas, Plumwood Mountain
“Lean and enigmatic, most sophisticated in style.” ~ Simon Armitage, UK Poet Laureate, Judge’s Report for the University of Canberra International Poetry Prize 2016 (shortlisted)
