"Diane Williams conjures up an edgy, jagged state of mind, a lurching consciousness in a culture of speed and amnesia." -- Matthew Stadler, New York Times Book Review "Diane Williams reminds me a little of Jane Bowles, a little of Laura Riding.

She is a master of sorts, who when she wants to, rises to a poetry of great, if telegraphic intensity." -- Eli Gottlieb, Elle
