"Wallschlaeger's latest collection is political, personal, and timely."–
Publishers Weekly "How can you not be grateful, in such an ugly time, for a poet who so closely and wryly and wrenchingly and furiously observes a nation?"–
Chicago Tribune "She deploys a new vocabulary for talking about the legacies of slavery and white supremacy as they manifest in daily life–a vocabulary that is as damning as it is lush, as rich with sound as it is bright with image... The domestic scenes she makes in her poems complicate clichés of who black women in America are 'supposed' to be." –
Hyperallergic "The first-person perspective is harrowing and heartbreaking in its vulnerability and honesty."–
Luna Luna Magazine "Wallschlaeger's is a poetics of multiplication and plurality."–
Entropy "I admire the grave persistence of her vision, the precision of her eye and ear."–Joyelle McSweeney
