Reviews
"As I approach mid-life, and continue to write about the unique experiences of women, I am ever more aware that my entire life has been absolutely nothing like the lives of men ... In her elegant, mature poetic voice, Lo articulates this multifarious experience by examining herself in a great array of roles, including homemaker, wife, mother, friend, teacher, daughter, child, Christian disciple, justice-seeker and revenant, to emotionally moving effect"
—Esther Ottoway, "A Series of Mirrors", Rochford Street Review
"It is [...] glimpses of these different kinds of love, familial, divine, transcendent, love of art and love of community that ultimately give this collection its otherworldly glow."
—Judith Huang, Mascara Literary Review
"This collection is the work of thirty years and is particularly redolent of the very female experience of domestic life, not as bliss or boredom but a full life lived with tenacity and struggle [...] powerful and unflinching."
—Lisa Collyer on Substack
" ... reflects on transnational diasporic experiences [...] agilely switches between places."
—Caitlin Maling for Cordite Poetry Review
