'The great thing about the poems in this collection is that they’re clearly the work of a writer who understands that surfaces are as important as depths. Her poems are sassy, erudite, funny, wise and moving – sometimes all at once.' Greg Malley, Northwards Now

'Maguire has harnessed her gimlet eye for human frailty...[her] observations are as serrated as a steaknife.' Rosemary Goring, The Herald.
