Reviews
-
Poetry Review for the Year 2008 (Gordon Bölling, Journal of Canadian Poetry Volume 25, 2/1/2011) “Many of the poems in I can still draw show Spears as the mature and fine writer that she evidently is.”
-
Review (Ingrid Ruthig, Northern Poetry Review, 8/14/2009) “This book proves that it is never too late for the eye to discover and for the pen to startle."
-
Poetic Patter from an Adopted Datter (Alison Koehler, The Copenhagen Post, 1/23/2009) “Political despair and great hope oscillate in this compilation that is alternately sombre and very funny. Even through the darker weave of words, one finds a light touch, the un-heavy breeze of this author's hand.”
