"There is a miasmic activity in these poems: heat and intensity forced up by a parallel resistance. And yet the generosity of the poems, their intelligence, and the process that turns experience into art, have forged a kind of redemption. In language that mixes lyricism and experiment, Cadsby's new collection (ten years in the making) deserves comparison with MacEwen, Bishop, and even Plath, for its craft, its intensity, and its power to disrupt." – Michael Redhill
