'Susan Bradley Smith presses at the limits of poetry, not in the sense of formal experimentation but in poetry’s capacity to embrace the lives of others. – Paul Kane Professor of English, Vassar College

'This is a rich and evocative exploration of relations between daughters and mothers, daughters and absent fathers, and between the poet and her literary (and intellectual) ancestors. – Jennifer Warrzinek Professor of English, Freie Universität Berlin

'As a poet, Susan Bradley Smith has perfect pitch: metrical, musical, imagistic… I would put her in the small and select category of poets who never let the violence of emotion interfere with poetic rigour. – Janette Turner Hospital' (Publication summary)
