"I'm still in awe of the sheer beauty of this sumptuous collection that looks and feels as if it had been born this way, rather than made at all! The book is a delight, full of humour and pain and wisdom. Cathy Chandler is a marvel."--Rhina P. Espaillat "Extremely rewarding ... the voice of a natural poet. Metrical poetry comes as easily to her as plain speech does to others. It is her native tongue."--Angle "Chandler boasts a strong collection of poetry that presents an argument for a return to older poetic forms to further explore the experiences of women and women writers in the present." Philip Miletic, Canadian Literature
