\u201cJust when it seemed poetry had become the orphan art in our day, along comes a young poet like Priscila Uppal to astonish. Her poems put down roots in your mind, in words that wound. And heal. A wonderful debut collection.\u201d \u2014Rosemary Sullivan<\/p>\n

\u201cHer voice is coiled and powerful containing underlying passion, sometimes anger… Sometimes (the poems) are simply beautiful.\u201d \u2014National Post<\/em><\/p>\n
