Reviews

"""Clare Croft's book is a love letter to Jill Johnston, an ode to lesbian feminist potential unfurling with dance investigations of the 1960's, a call for writing as a kind of touching through time, pleasure, juxtapositions, and passionate political imaginings. Gorgeously written and deeply researched, it puts the reader in a richly woven world of thinkers and ideas of what bodies in motion can upend when in sync with feminist possibility. It has an ease, a slouch, and funny adjacencies to queer pleasures and adamancies that helps us sense and move more queerly.""--Jennifer Monson, Professor of Dance, University of Illinois Urbana Champaign"
