'Poetry of the highest order: thought-provoking reflections on bi-polar disorder told with a buzzing energy and rhythm.' – Anna Burtt, VIVA Brighton
'Elizabeth Ridout’s debut collection is a dazzling mix of daring and accomplishment.' – Peter Carpenter
'Here is a fresh, strikingly original, distinctive first collection. The strong, gutsy poems – each a well-crafted entity in itself – demonstrate a striking young talent worth noting. In her already assured voice, with teasing overtones at times of Sylvia Plath, Anne Sexton and Carol Ann Duffy, Elizabeth Ridout demonstrates her wide range.' – Patricia McCarthy
'A rich mix of character study and personal narrative, which masterfully walks the line between imagination and truth.' – Dean Atta
