'These poems are full of a wisdom and a depth I  see very rarely in poetry.... This is a beautiful book, 
one to be cherished, and if some major British publisher doesn't bring us a full collection soon, there's 
no justice'
Steven Waling

'Hirschhorn's poems travel from Minnesota to Cambodia to Java, effortlessly - what connects them is the confidence of his voice, which is at once very personal and direct' 

Poetry London

LIBBY HOUSTON

'Libby Houston has an original voice, which is hard to characterize.... She likes to contemplate rottenness, rotting and the agents of change and decay, blowflies, maggots and mould, which she describes with a nice precision which remove them to the safe world of wit on the one hand, or fairy tale on the other. she looks at tiny details and large movements of life and time, like all good writers; a poet, a woman, not particularly a woman poet.'
