"This poet articulates her impressions and feelings in a wryly ironic tone of energetic repartee, a woman's voice speaking in and out of the smoky, beery space of bars and nightclubs, where she encounters men and women off-duty and often bent on betraying themselves and others. [She] is adept with a taut, curt and short line laconic and often barbed." - Stevie Davies, Novelist.
"A talent for razor-sharp satirical observation." - Nigel Jenkins, Poet
"A frank, well written and compelling memoir of a particular formative period in the writer's life...many of the darkest elements of the memoir are kept well beneath the surface, and skilfully expose that revealing all is often not the most effective means of 'writing the self', for this piece is far more haunting in its absences...and ends subtly and beautifully." Fflur Daffyd - Novelist, Screenwriter, Pop Singer.
