"Anna Journey's Wolf Cut is equal parts song and cinema, which is to say a treat for both the ear and the eye. Lush. Rhythmic. Resonant images. Soulful. Searching. Searing. Reading this collection is like watching a Fellini film on mute, 'round midnight, while Sonny Rollins solos from a neighbor's half-open window." - John Murillo"What I've always loved most about Journey's work is how she interrogates the grotesque, uncovers the vulnerable tenderness hiding underneath, and blesses it. What a gift to read this wonderful celebration of one of the most unpredictable and compassionate poets of our age." - Nicky Beer"Journey's poems are big, rangy, expansive in Whitmanesque, democratic ways. They have a narrative charisma but maintain Dickinson's perversity, independence. Journey is as much a storyteller as a poet. Few write with her variety of emotional, intellectual, and musical muscle." - Terrance Hayes"Anna Journey's poetry is really magical." - David Lynch
