Product Description
“In an impressive first collection, what strikes me most about Julie Morrissy is how few writers she reminds me of; in her weaving of Irish and American poetic traditions, she has found a singular voice and style.”—India Harris, review in Poetry Ireland Review #130
“Slightly more avant-garde but always really engaging, witty, wry work. I don’t think anybody else is writing like Julie [Morrissy] at the moment.”—Jessica Traynor, “Chapter & Verse: The Rise of Irish Female Poets”, The Gloss Magazine
“If Morrissy has a clear sense of ‘where I’m from’, in relation to other kinds of poetry, the most surprising and enjoyable aspect of her work is the deliberateness with which she stakes out a poetics of her own, with a mobile intelligence and wit which is not just a reaction to other voices.”
—John McAuliffe, poet and reviewer for the Irish Times
