Apparently is one of those collections which makes you see the world as suddenly more complex, strange and fascinating' - Imogen Robertson, Poetry Book Society Online.; 'Satirically playful, self-parodic, yes, but unable to conceal an emotional intelligence that lends depth and vulnerability to Caley's voice even at moments of humour' - Jane Holland, Poetry Review.; 'The most inventive user of the sonnet form currently writing - Laurie Smith, Magma.
