"[T]here is a lot to enjoy in this pamphlet...she writes rich evocative verse."

"Lise Sinclair observes her world closely from an oblique angle, and has interesting things to say on love, place, and time."
- Rob A MacKenzie, Sphinx Magazine

"Moving and wonderful. Like a shell to the ear."
- Gwilym Williams, New Hope International Review

"[T]he collection is a sincere reflection of the poet's 'here', in terms of place, time and state. She lives on a small island in a group of small islands in the North Atlantic but also is a citizen of a wider world with an awareness of history and geography and an interest, as she notes on the last page, in 'the whole of the seen and unseen world'."
- The New Shetlander
